Florence
28 x 43in. charcoal on paper
Florence is joy. Florence is bliss. It is impossible to look at her without smiling. This drawing made me think about true happiness and unwavering glee. I drew Florence at a time when I needed to be reminded of the beauty and love that exists in the world around me. This is my most detailed drawing of the collection because I had to capture her radiant spirit through the lines and grooves of her face without seeing her actual smile, staying true to the phrase βthe eyes are the window to the soul.β
