Gizella

Worn out by a lifetime of hard labor and hardened by her time on the streets, Gizella, (for no discernible purpose) spends her days gathering the refuse of the gutters.

Just a little digital painting experiment in process. Crits welcome!

Dad, You're Pretty Great

My mom commissioned this caricature of my dad in honor of his retirement last month from some 40-odd years of teaching. The irony of this picture is that my dad is the sort that gets antsy on vacation and dreads rather than looks forward to relaxation. The guy just loves to work - a habit he and my mom will continue as LDS missionaries beginning this Fall (location TBA).

So thanks, Dad, for taking care of us all those years (and continuing to look out for us). Thanks for your example, not only of hard work, but (together with Mom) of lasting marriage and enduring companionship. Happy retirement and Happy Father's Day!
