Description

This is dedicated to AND a portrait of Katie, the Traditional Art Gallery Director.

Why did I call the piece In Peace? This was taken just a few days after her father passed. Today is the one year anniversary of my grandfather's passing and so it felt kind of appropriate.

The story is about the red pinstripes in her hair. Red is not worn to funerals in most cultures, and so Katie waited a few days before she got her stripes. Her face is so serene in the image that it looked like she was "In Peace".

Original Photo can be found on Katie's home page as her DEV ID. `snowmask . The photo was taken by her husband Keith, `zerocomplex and that is what I used as reference. See link here ----> [link] This image was drawn with the express written permission of the model.

*Please forgive the lines that show up softly on the left of the drawing. My scanner needs to be cleaned and calibrated. I will upload a fresher image as soon as I get that done.

THANKS KATIE!!!!

Wicked skills. It's so peaceful. I can't draw photo-realism in a million years.
