My father spent much of the later years of his life expressing his feelings through drawing. Here are some my favorites.
The strength in her face is almost masculine. It makes me think of my father's unspoken fears about his own past. I think that he locked himself away from the world partly out of a conviction that someone, someday would step out of the shadows and take him unawares.
3 x 5, pencil on paper.

How I like this drawing. It has all the lines that it needs. I like this "unfinished" drawing style very much.
