Portrait of my husband, pencil on paper, approx. 14" x 10." 1988.
We've been going through a lot of old boxes and drawers lately, and I found a bunch of drawings that were nice to see, both for the art and the memories. I'm not sure I could even do a drawing like this anymore, or if I'd want to, but that kind of realism and detail were what I was into back then, and it was good training.
That drawing is really nice -- I'd probably recognize your husband if I happened to run into him. "Oh, didn't Beth Adams draw your profile once?"

Beautiful drawing; beautiful husband!
Love to you both.

In my opinion one of Jonathan's best features is his smile but I love this dark brooding look you have captured that we may not often see. This sketch seems very personal and shows another side of our wonderful Jonathan!!!

That's a fine figure of a man. If he doesn't mind my saying so, positively apostolic!

A beautifully observed and drawn portrait. "Could not do again"- I wonder!

Strange how our tastes change. I did a rather nice quick sketch of my husband years ago that I should resurrect and frame properly. It really captured his essence.
