I've been drawing a lot again lately. Here are a few portraits. The one of Zachary and his bear is my favorite.

This is a Fingered Citron, or "Buddha's Hand", a fruit from China, only quite rarely available in the U.S:
It's a citrus fruit, with little or no pulp, just rind. Although you can eat the rind candied, it's most often used as a kind of "air freshener," or in folk medicine. I paid 50 cents for it at the local Giant because nobody knew what it was. I bought it just because I thought it would be cool to have around. They had a half dozen of them and nobody in the store knew where they came from or what they were. Now it's sitting in my kitchen, freshening the air.
