Description

Dust To Dust...

Who she was,
What passion she had,
Whom she loved,
She only knew,
...for she is long gone.

-Dina-

This is my first charcoal portrait. This drawing is from an old photo [link] that was found with hundreds of others by a deviantArt member, Mr Corcoran. [link]
He's holding an exhibition in Ireland. This drawing is going to be submitted for the exhibition as well.

Vine Charcoal on subject. Med and soft charcoal pencils for the border. The word 'Knowing' was done freehand.
11" X14" Bristol Vellum

8 hours

Edit 3/21/07 : They've found the name of this girl. Maureen Walsh lived to be 80 years old and passed away only 4 years ago.

Permanent location of drawing : Gate Lodge, Waterford CO Ireland. Purchased by private collector.
