Description
Pencil Drawing of Preston Jones (Commission)On acid free mat board 15” x 24”
I don’t often do commissions but this one is an exception. It was a great drawing to work on; Preston has a very intriguing face, a serious, deep, gaze… a thinker and artist, but with more then a hint of kindness.

Hello Armin,
An exquisite work indeed. The depth of the expression and the astounding manner through which you captured it are breathtaking. A definite favorite.
Your skill at creating life from graphite is unmatched in my books.

I have to say this......your work is beyond good. But, I was beginning to wonder if you could stretch your talents into dark-eyed territory. Perhaps it hadn't occurred to you that most of your models had light eye colour?
