A couple of months ago I started a Facebook page and it has given me the unusual opportunity to look at photographs of people who've sat for my portraits. I think it's interesting to see these photos with the portraits, so I asked permisssion from these folks to share their pictures here. This is fun for me to see, because I did not work from photographs to create these portraits, nor did I document the process, like I have with my most recent portraits. Here are the first three (this will have to be a series, because there are many!)

Meghan Yates, Joe McVetty, and Molly Levine all attended Maine College of Art with me.

Great Faces!!!
