Been away to Chicago this time. Traveling is over til February so it's just the holidays that will get in the way of making any kind of art. I've done damned few portraits this year, which is odd, but there you go. While in Chicago, I met up with an old friend, one I haven't seen in 25 or so years. We had a nice talk with drinks and of course I took some reference photos while we talked. Or he talked. Had some time tonight to get started on the portrait in question. This is as far as I got so far.
