Avanguard Portrait, Inked

I pretty much began as a graphite artist, then moved to Ink. Back in the 80's finding a good pen was difficult and often costly if you managed. At least this was the case for a girl in a small town way outside Seattle as I recall.

One day, I discovered a bottle of black india ink and a crow quill at my only local art supply store. And my work immediately evolved to pen & ink.

I have moved off basic pen & Ink to many other mediums since that time, now I consider myself a mixed media artist --I can never settle on just one way of doing anything. Every so often I have to go back to my artistic roots.

I have no idea what everyone, ... or anyone else, was doing on New Years Eve...But I was Drawing:





Some time back when we gota new digital camera with all kinds of "special modes" on it, my husband was goofing with the settings, when he snapped the pic that I sketched this from...so for that I dedicate the drawing to my hubby, Anto.
