Artist's Comments

Picture 340; 9 x 12 inches, pen & ink (Micron .01) on paper.

The model is from an online exhibition of photographs at the Simon Wiesenthal Multimedia Learning Center you can find here: [link] called "And I Still See Their Faces". The photos of Polish Jews somehow survived the Holocaust in Poland, even if the people did not. Most are snapshots of long-past family members, but a few are quite artful, including this one, number 340 of over 450.

Reading the text accompanying the photos is haunting.


I don't quite know what I'll do with this. I won't try to sell it. I did it because I was trying to work through something.

Very nice work. You are really good with the pen. I want to learn the pen one day. I've had limited success so far. I always wind up with blobs. LOL. I suppose it takes a lot of practice. Durer was incredible with the pen. But I like your style.

Thank you so much.

For purposes of speed and cleanliness, I have switched to Microns. In the long run, they're more expensive to continue to buy because they run out a lot, but the rapidographs vomit all over my paper and clog. Vomit and clog. It drives me nuts. Try the Microns sometime.

I know
Not these my hands
And yet I think there was
A woman like me once had hands
Like these.
