"Sandra at the Lotus Pond," 5" x 7", graphite on card
"Martha," 7" x 5", graphite on card
Above are several miniature-scale drawings I've done recently to thank a few dear friends, Martha and Dwane of Charlotte, NC, and Sandy and Dwight of Trenton, NJ, who have graciously hosted me in their homes this year. It's great keeping in touch with old friends, and most of us, (except Dwane), all attended college together. Grounds For Sculpture in Trenton is the location of the lovely lotus garden where I drew Sandy. I'm hoping to have some time this week to start a new miniature, and to finish After the Graduation.
Since I need commissions at this time, my emphasis lately has been over at my portrait blog. If you haven't been watching it, or would like to help me spread the word, here is another opportunity to see what's cooking, by clicking: http://monaconnerportraits.blogspot.com. I now have email subscription capability to all of my active blogs for those who prefer receiving the latest posts via email. On my portrait blog the subscription sign-up is at the bottom, (just so you won't miss it there.)

Beautiful drawings Mona, what a lovely gesture, and I hope the portrait commissions are coming in thick and fast.
These are beautiful Mona - you have such a gift for capturing the character of your subject in your portraits. I bet your friends will be thrilled to bits!!!
It's wonderful to see your portrait business booming, and I look forward to your next miniature!
Tracy, Karen, and Deb, thanks so much. Martha and Sandy were pleased with the drawings, and I, too, am hoping that the portrait business will thrive!
The best to you Mona. You have such a wonderful style with graphite. Lovely portraits and what a lovely gesture.
thanks Barbara. Hoping to post an update soon on a new miniature portrait I've been working on.
