Posted above is a posthumous charcoal portrait. I worked from the black and white photograph on his funeral bulletin. Although, I never met Arthur Stattelman, I was glad that his son gave me this from which to work. I enjoyed reading about the accomplishments in his life, jobs, interests, and family, before I began drawing. It seems Mr. Stattelman made the most of his 92 years and I'm glad I could be a part of paying tribute to a life well lived.
