"Two Boys"

These two boys' hands were found in a Flicker photo this evening. I found it while browsing through the many artists listed in my "Favorite Places to Hang Out," but I don't remember which one it was.

Whoever it was made a comment about 'someon' being very good at finding Flicker images to draw, so I went to that site and found this image. I have two grandsons and these could be their hands.

It's a Staedtler Micron Pen, watercolor and my little moleskine.

  5. I really like the verticalness -- the way the arms are hanging, I can feel the gravity ... good job! (And by the way, regarding your comment on my blog, I frequently hand wash clothes in the shower too).
