Cody sleeping


My daughter called early this morning asking if I could watch Cody.
He was sick with a cold, and couldn't go to the daycare.
Sure! I love watching my grandson. I read storys, he watched batman,
and soon feel asleep on the couch.
Prime time to do some art! so I sketched him while he slept. I'm loading
this up just in time, he's now awake.
charcoal on gessod' board 5"x7"(he's a cool lil' guy, I call him Bud!)

What a great sketch, and a great opportunity for a live model!
Let's keep doing the trip!

and that too is another story!

what may have taken you an hour or so to sketch down will probably be one of his most valued treasures that he will keep with him his whole life. The picture my grampa sketched of me while I was sleeping, he will tell his grandkids. Im happy to see this.

Bill, this is great! I love it! And Wes is right.. this is a treasure - keep it and give it to him when he is older. He is adorable, and I think you must have captured him really well.
Beautiful job!

Thanks Wes! Cody as a grampa, now I hadn't thought of that. Hmmm:)

Hey Deb, Thanks! With Stape posting about Ingres, I wanted to do some sketching, or line drawing. Stape is a strong influence to me and my art.(I want to make a better picture!)
