My 10-year-old nephew gave me a sketchbook for Christmas, so I drew his portrait on the first page and gave it to him. He was so cute: He held very, very still while I was drawing, but his eyes were just about popping out of his head to watch what I was doing. After I […]

View post →I made this portrait of my son as he was reading. When I finished I looked at it and I didn’t see the six year old James, I saw what I believe he will look like in 10 years. Now I have to try not to blink or else the years will go by just […]
