Dianne the portrait artist

Standard

1978-86

Why these dates? I haven’t draw anything like these since Sean was little!

Here are some drawings I did way back in the late 70s when I was between 19-20 yrs old. Yeah, Al Pacino looks like Jesus a little, but that was his character in Serpico. The lady was an Irish actress Mary Larkin who appeared in a mini-series in 1980 called ‘Against the Wind’. I remember drawing this and the other-not shown (from the local tv magazine) down the shore while staying at a beach house with my mom, grandmom and little brother) I was at the age where I felt I was getting too old to go on trips like this. I know, she has a long neck! The baby was a drawing assignment from ‘Drawing from the right side of your brain’.

My mom is a terrific portrait artist and still draws when the mood hits. She is draws in a more sketchy way where I like to shade more. Mom and I are both lefties.

  1. Wow, Dianne, I’m very impressed, those are great!!! I’ve always admired anybody who can draw…that’s something I cannot do at all! You should try your hand at it again now!! xox

  2. I’ve always wished I could draw, but stick people are about the extend of my talents. My mom can draw anything, though, and most of Niek’s family are also excellent at drawing, so maybe one of my kids will inherit it. 😀
