Brenda Tracy Smith, whom I first met in third grade at Harrison Valley Elementary. I haven't seen her since I left high school halfway through 11th grade. I just finished this sketch and will revisit it with some changes for the better in the next few weeks.



Ed and Janet Vainio, Missoula, MT. They were interim pastors at the church we attend for about nine months. I love them both.



Kyla Morton, the music teacher at Stevensville High School, Montana, and a very good friend. This sketch has seen numerous reworkings and just keeps getting better and better.



Alejandra Pina Ramirez. She is a cousin of Gabriel, Amanda's son, and was eight years old at the time of the photo. I can see things in my sketch that aren't right, but what really jumps out at me is that I drew her mother. Ha, ha!! However, considering that I sketched this in about 1-1/2 hours, I'm not displeased with the result.
