Portraits ( Robert Allen, Lea Davies, Martha Finney, Becky Burcher and the charcoal of Lynda Nersesian )I painted with acrylics or drew of my fellow friends/ students at RMC! Randolph Macon College years-19721976

The photo is of Suzie Lykes and myself at RMC when she and her parents brought me to see RMC for the first time with Bill and Connie.
I added thevtwo chocolates from the reception at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC - shiny blue a shony gold circles, and gathered leaves to add some more for fun! Lynda Nersesian in charcoal that I drew as one of the very first at Starr maybe as a freshman? it was early. She shared a story with us at the campus diner then before the Campus Building, rushing back to our table far back from the counter up front withn such joy and appreciation for the ladies up front preparing our requests. sShe gushed with earnestness and conviction that they wete great and doing a great job and deserved to be appreciated and acknowledged more than they were. I loved Lynda even more than I already did for that! And she was right! I have taken that joy and comment from her to my heart and folliw it to this day! So vital, so necessary! Thanks Lynda!
