Gerry

6/2/12, fountain pen, Hand Book sketchbook

This is Gerry, one of my new family members (as a result of the wedding that took place in L.A. last weekend). The house full of people, everyone engaged in various conversations, I quietly pulled out my sketchbook. He looked engrossed in his conversation, so I hoped he wouldn’t notice me. I’ve gotten pretty good at sketching strangers in coffee shops, but this was the first time I boldly sketched someone I knew, sitting only a few feet away. I was too shy to show the sketch to him at the time, but he saw it the next day and (kindly) said he saw a resemblance.
