Wendy Smith


This is a drawing I just finished. Wendy (the gal in the sketch) had asked me about doing her portrait two years ago. She would often see me and ask how it was coming, but in the last 9 months I think she gave up all hope that I would ever do it. I am going to present it to her at our year end horse banquet this Sunday. I am terrible at keeping secrets! Good thing I only have 3 days or I would probably just take it to her today. I enjoy giving my work to others almost as much as I do creating it.

Update: I think they really liked the drawing. The top photo isWendy and her family receiving the drawing at the year end banquet sunday, February 15th. I sure enjoyed doing it for such wonderful people.
