Finally! I'm doing a portrait of Donna


The last time I did a portrait of Donna it was for our engagement and the year was 1967. All I could afford was the paper it was printed on. I used men's hairspray to fix the pencil (and it hasn't yellowed yet) and shoe polish to stain the frame. It's still in my studio.

This photo was taken in Venice where we celebrated our 40th anniversary and the anniversary of Donna's 30th birthday.

She's eating rice gelato.

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
