(Local) Election time

(C) Dale DiMauro

When we arrived home from our summer vacation in July we had numerous political flyers piling up at the post office. With a late summer election, we were constantly receiving these colorful flyers profiling a candidates views on issues and what kind of endorsements they were accumulating. My father-in-law joked that the faces on the flyers grew larger each day.

Well this one did not do well in the summer election. 

When I was watching the news the other evening I started drawing his face from one of these political flyers. I noticed he had a very upright posture to go with his professional attire. 

It is always a challenge to add the glasses as they obscure the face to some degree. I do not know that the facial features are accurate, but I may have captured aspects of his demeanor. This drawing did not take long, maybe half an hour or so.
