Little Charlie

Little Charlie looks wicked!

This is my youngest son Charles. Now 26. When on the beach, my wife and I did everything but tie him to our chairs, however, look away for a moment and he would disappear. Jeeps would run along the beach patrolling or selling refreshments, and little Charlie would pick up their trail and follow. This painting is from a photo I took of Charlie, while he didnt see me, thinking he was lost. His hands filled with shells and interesting beach things, worried and looking for a familiar face.
