Watercolor, 30x21, Sold This was one of my first watercolor portraits from several years ago. It brings back good memories of being in Chris DiDomizio's art class, and knowing him as a friend, role model and teacher.

Most of the class was painting and drawing his Haiti photos which lead up to a show/fundraiser with around one hundred works of art.
