Grandfather Portrait

A sensitive colored pencil portrait commissioned as a companion piece to match a previous portrait created seventeen years earlier, demonstrating Fall's ability to maintain artistic consistency across decades. The piece showcases the artist's mastery of colored pencil technique, particularly in capturing the subject's warm expression and distinctive features, while thoughtfully coordinating with the earlier portrait of his wife through matching style and presentation. Working from limited reference materials, Fall successfully created a harmonious pairing that honors both the technical requirements of matching a previous work and the emotional resonance of a memorial portrait.
