These blind transfer contour portraits began as a prompt with my artists group (Donna Henderson, Mary Garrard, Susan Thomas, and Teresa Myrmo), drawing each other over Zoom. We’ve met virtually every week since August 3, 2020. (Yes, I know the date - it was during the covid-19 pandemic and the first Monday after my last shift practicing family medicine.) We first met in person, fully vaccinated, at the opening reception of our first group show in June 2021.
Now I draw them as student demos but mostly just for play.
