The Janitor and His Mother

Pastel on paper. December 2010

The Janitor's name is Randy.

I wish I could have worked a little more on it. Especially the right side looks really hastily drawn. 

I was commissioned by the Janitor sometime around November last year, so I guess I had more than enough time.

I hope to win the art contest I entered at the university (see the first post), so I can go back to visit and maybe get to work a little more on this piece too.

  2. Thank you! (Google language tool is helping me)

    I reworked the janitor's face over and over again, until I was pleasantly surprised myself by his warm complexion.
