A pencil portrait of Albert Einstein
I began my love for art by watching my mother paint in oils and pastels. I must have caught the bug because I have enjoyed fifty years of drawing, painting and photography, urged on and instructed by professors, a botanist, a master of Chinese brush painting and calligraphy, water colorists and lately, mixed media devotees. After a course in cubism in 1973 I began to explore pen and ink geometric art. Each stroke was unplanned but exact, the designs becoming more elaborate and more fun to execute.

I was so excited to get a likeness. So glad you visited my art!

Thank you very much, Jolanta for featuring my "Einstein" in Human Portraits..." I had just taken a portrait class and was trying very hard to get a likeness of the subjects. I chose Einstein as a test, really and so was delighted when my drawing matched him.

Thanks so much, Henryk! The pencil is quite the powerful tool for capturing portraits. Some years that's all I did!!

Thanks! I purposely chose someone famous to test my ability to get a likeness.

Very nice interpretation of his portrait...I like the emphasis on his eyes and mustache.

My father and now my husband are into the mustache! No wonder I got that right!!! The eyes are the window to the soul, I've often heard.

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Again, always the student...I was taking a great class in portrait art and then I just kept on going....copying and then flying solo.
Jane Small
Nancy,I really like the immediacy of this pencil portrait. You have caught such depth to the eyes and I sense some humour lurking there too as well as the questioning gaze. Lovely to see a fresh interpretation of Einstein in this delightful sketch.v/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Jane, you are so sweet to study this portrait and give me your ideas. I was deep into portraits and I wanted so much to catch a likeness, so I chose icons and this is one result. Thank you for seeing humor and questioning. What a fabulous comment!!
