here are two of my favorite quick portraits by my wife and me. i caught christine (above) sketching a picture of my mom. my parents actually came to town last weekend and i was bummed that we didn't have a portrait party. i was curious to see how christine and my mom would draw one another. one of the things that i love about drawing with each of them is that they are both so humble. they both draw. they both draw very well. but they both seem delighted and surprised when the drawings are complete. my mom smiles and waves away compliments. christine gets a childlike glow, especially when she captures a good likeness, like this one (below) that she got of me.

frank auerbach, sandra fisher & r.b. kitaj
the two painters portrayed above are frank auerbach and sandra fisher. the artist, ronald b. kitaj, is credited with bringing pop art to britain even though his work clearly defies that label. auerbach drew sandra and kitaj below.
and sandra painted her husband, kitaj, below.
it looks like auerbach up and ran before sandra could paint him also. too bad really.
