poor trait

I'm pretty bad at painting or drawing portraits of people, but once in a while i decide to try it and, once in a while, one will come out good.
I had a very good example from around 2003, but i really don't want to look for the images and scan them right now. Instead, I'll just show you the one I did today. I took it from a photo from Stephen Shore's book Uncommon Places.
Fort Worth, June 1976

By no means is my rendition of this woman as fabulous as she is. And I tells ya, a brush tipped pen can do a lot to add depth to a line drawing. Or probably a real brush, but that's too messy for me.
