To challenge myself I asked three friends to send photographs of someone I did not know with the only stipulation being no eye glasses as I had just completed two portraits with glasses.  Below are the resulting paintings. - Frank Thompson

From the left:  "Mason. TX" is a one hour old baby. "Hannah.CA" is from a photo of a friend's then 17 year old daughter."Jim.NY" is of actor Jim Brochu performing as Zero Mostel in Brochu's play "Zero Hour". 

Actor/playwright Jim Brochu (right) receives the portrait of him from Emmy nominated illustrator Ken Fallin during a cast party in New York on Oct. 3, 2010.  That is TCM host Robert Osborne behind Ken Fallin. 

Hannah in California with her painting.

Mason with his painting "Mason.TX".  I think his aunt is keeping it for him until he gets a bit older.
