A portrait

I have been working at the census and not finding any time at all to do artistic or creative things. This has sucked. Alot. So, I asked one of my co-workers, a fellow by the name of Robert:
If I could perhaps paint his portrait. He agreed and I brought my camera to shoot the above photo. My hope was that having someone I see everyday waiting for artwork would prompt me to make good use of what little time I did have between shifts. It helped. I soon showed him the drawing:
And then a painting:

I think it's good, I'm pretty happy with it.

Love and coffee,
Anne
