This is a #portrait that was done for a lady in Iowa several years ago, i was asked off of the photograph that is on the right that she sent me, taken in the early 1970s. If you have any older photos hat you'd like to have illustrated so u can hang them up in ur home, please reach out to me ~

"Study of a Student," Laura Wheeler Waring, c. 1940s.

Waring (1887-1948) was one of the great painters of the Harlem Renaissance, known for her deservedly famous portraits of figures such as singer Marian Anderson or author Jesse Redmon Fauset. Here we have a portrait of an unidentified woman, looking bored as anything. I feel for her!

The handling seems a bit clumsy, but this was only a study, something done in preparation for another painting, so one can't expect perfection from it. So many of her other portraits are detailed and realistic....but despite being basically a rough draft, it still has charm.

It's holiday weekend here in the UK and I finally got around to post some updates on my KO-FI, that now includes a listing for manga-style custom illustrations.
I also finally finished my fan art of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher and made a study of Moiraine Sedai (we started Wheel of Time S3 yestarday) to test some new art supply.
