{Eli’s Portrait in Pencil}  I thought a portrait in pencil would be the perfect medium for Eli.  He looks fierce.  Yet, there is a softness that comes when working with graphite.  That’s what our Eli was all about.   With us, he was fierce, strong willed, confident.  Around others, he was very cautious and shy.   I think he would be pleased with this portrayal of him.     Thank you for following A Colourful Canvas.
