Profiles

 

once upon a time

when my son was but a wee lad

(he be a man now)

a girlfriend captured this photograph of us

I wish Jesper's head was fully portrayed (in the photo)

I used this photo because I was practicing profiles

 

I created two pieces

because the pink one was not making me happy

so began the blue one

as I worked back and forth on the two

I was happy with both in the end

 sketch:

 

not that they are exactly like the photo

but

I think with my birthday on Monday

there was something special in creating my first self portrait

also

having a child is a HUGE experience

it is one of the bigger adventures in my life

a meaningful contemplation through art 

especially near my birthday

visit: Sophia's Blue Chair Diary on Sunday to enjoy other sketches from around the world

both my brother and sister think I gave us measles

instead of freckles.... so no worries if you think that too ;-)
