In mid July, I finally had a chance to get this double portrait started. I used conte crayon to make this sketch directly on the canvas. This was a pretty promising start and I had some hope of possible completing the portrait before our trip to Tennessee at the beginning of August. But the next day, I fractured a bone in my right arm, so I had to stop working on this for a while. I thought about trying to work on this with my left hand, but took the wiser course of waiting for my arm to heal first. At least our trip wasn't ruined: we changed our plans for a road trip and booked airline tickets instead.
