Cheri and Larry portrait in progress 16 - Emerging from the grey...

Both heads finished now. 

Whew! The hard part is done.

Cheri wrote:

“With this glorious work of art of us - with his eyes shining the way they did when I fell in love with them and then with him - I never have to think about that 'one last time' again...never have to dwell on the regret of not having had that 'one last' look - because now, I can see them anytime I want ... see our happiness...see our love for each other...and in the portrait, he's alive and we have many years of everything that mattered in the world to us, still waiting ahead.”


 

It’s been a long slow road, but both faces are finally finished. I love the look when there’s just a completed face emerging 3-dimensional out of that flat grey of the background paper.

Next, their t-shirts.
