These two beautiful people are my great grandparents, John and Helen. In this piece I used a mix of India ink, charcoal, and pencil. It is not incredibly detailed because the photo I had to work off of wasn't. It was taken somewhere around 1920. My great grandparents had just got hitched and were off the boat they came in through Ellis Island.

One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.
