"Jay"

Ever since I first saw a beautiful black and white photograph of Jay taken by Steve Horsfall, who is an amazingly talented photographer, I wanted to do this drawing of her.  After some initial sketches I worked the drawing  in venetian red and dark brown pencil on cream paper and I hope that I have captured the essence of Jay, just as Steve did when he took this lovely image of her.  (Drawing reproduced with the kind permission of Steve Horsfall).
