It’s fabulous, Sylvia. He’s captured the concentration on his face.

Talented lad - hopefully he will take it up again.

Thank you I will pass your positive comments onto him ,he’s in his forties now and hopefully this will act as a spur to him picking up a pencil again.

This was done by one of my sons when he was 15 for a school project. I just rediscovered it. He did a lot in situ it’s of a potter friend of ours. Hopefully he will go back to his painting one day .
