"Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of 'Mother,'
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you..."
--Edgar Allan Poe, "To My Mother"

A portrait of my Mom that I made as a birthday present for her. Again I used vine, compressed, and white charcoal, HB, 3B, and 8B pencils, and Prismacolor Black and White colored pencils to draw it. This took me a month and a half to complete.
