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 ;-)
