"boys" -a commission - pve design artwork, watercolor on arches aquarelle paper, 16 x 20,
These boys posed for a "candid" shot and they were less enthralled to be there - I loved working on this one. I got lost in the old adage, "boys will be boys." You can imagine how hard it (was) to get three boys, one lizard, a cat and a dog to pose in harmony. I love the nonchalant attitude of each boy that I was able to capture.
This art will be used for a holiday card. I hope that this will be a nice memory for them as a 4th little bundle of joy is en route to rock the world of boys, and we are hopeful for a girl to add some sugar and spice.
This is incredible - you captured 'the boys' so well! Those who receive holiday cards designed by you are in for a very special and beautiful treat!

ReplyDeleteWish you were next door to see the original - afraid my scanner is not up to par to capture all the details.
But it shall soon be in the form of cards....and a special treat for the recipients on the list!
As always, love your smiling comments.

It's an entire memoir in that illustration. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful- a treasure for this family. Hmmm... looking at the time...early to bed huh?
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful. I think this will be treasured by the family forever.
ReplyDeleteYour ability to so perfectly capture their outfits and 'attitudes'/body language speak mountains about this moment in time! I have b/w photos of my three older brothers at about this same point... just before a 'little sis' came into their lives!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming illustration! I'm amazed at the patience that it must have taken to get three boys to pose for a decent shot!
ReplyDeleteI love this illustration: the boys, cat and dog are all so classic in their poses.
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a memory. How great to capture this moment in the boys lives.
ReplyDeleteTime passes so quickly and children are the authentic timeline. Otherwise we'd feel 15 at 40 and not be anywiser!
