LEVI

Another attempt at a portrait of my grandson. Fun to do but, once again, I seem to make him look like he is in high school. He is just three!

FUNNY ONE

I was doing a practice session with watercolors (which I always struggle with) and worked from a picture of my three year old grandson. Didn't turn out quite like I hoped. I'm going to keep it though because it's how he might look....when he's twelve!!
