Taylor Hanson

I drew this portrait of Taylor Hanson from a photo taken around 2000. It's in charcoal and pastel on a heavy Fabriano paper (which is *wonderful* stuff - the best drawing paper I've ever found). The original dimensions are around 14 by 20 inches (roughly 35 by 50 centimeters).

I find that of all human subjects I most enjoy drawing and painting images of young performing artists. They seem to project the most beauty and spirit, which I suppose is by the nature of their occupation.
