Worked on this portrait today. Not done, but almost.
I'm going to do the two women next...

I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com

I'm really loving this work you're doing on these portraits. They remind me in a way of one of my favorite artists, Tamara Limpika. This work, Great Grandfather Camp, has great volume, almost palpable. And the texture in the moustache; wonderful. Charcoal is such a friend.
Brad
He looks a little sad and frightened, I wonder what he was like--was he grampa Simmons' father?
Nice portrait!
Thanks, Brad! I love charcoal. Oooooh, Tamara! I'll have to post some of her work next - thanks for the lead! :*)
Hi Sue!
This is Gramma Simmons' father. He was born in England and made picture frames! When I zoom in on the eyes, I see alot going on...
Sue:
This is from cousin Lorna, about Great Grandfather Camp:
"By the way, his name was Arthur, born in Derby, England in 1834. The woman to his right is probably his wife, our great-grandmother named Zillah. She was born in Leicestershire, England in 1846. Her maiden name was Bosworth."
Love it!
