A quick sketch. The reference photo I’m pretty sure was taken by either her mom or dad.

Still procrastinating.

A few more sketches from recent sessions with “BA”. It’s only been about a week since the life drawing sessions I usually attend were interrupted by the Thanksgiving Holiday. Guess it’s not really that long ago. Should probably stop complaining.

Another grandchild in the arms of his mom, with a few friends.

Still sketching from accumulated reference photos taken by family, and sometimes me.

Avoiding getting back to work on projects. And unable to escape until the end of the week for a session with a live model.

A distant translation

being observed unaware,

based on a cropped

photo reference,

by

I don’t know who,

in the hallway of a school

surrounded by those

lucky enough

to be so near.

I replaced them all

with leaves

in a mild case

of jealousy.

Another grandchild sketched in this void, caused by the recent holiday.

In Such a Short Time

Yesterday’s sketch of my oldest grandchild from a reference photo (taken by a teammate’s parent) at a football practice earlier this year. And a sketch I did of him back in 2013 playing soccer. It seems like only a few days ago. Time passes so quickly, it seems, as we both continue to grow.
