SALUTE! My word, what a fantastic drawing Mike, what is the caption? To me it could be 1st day of school or maybe thinking of you card or even mother's day. Good going!! Rosie

Use the pointy end............

Wow, I love this one! I'm the mother of a 2 year old little boy who's growing too quickly, and a 9 year old little boy who's days of holding his mama's hand are (sadly) long gone. There is a lot of emotion for me in this painting. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks to all...I actually noticed I had some corrections to make after I posted it. I'll put the new one up later. Thanks again, Mike P.S. Rosie, I 'm not allowed to post the 'caption', sorry!

Love the touch of yellow! I know what you mean about wanting to make changes. If possible I like to let paintings 'age' a bit, gettting them out of sight for a while. The next time I look at them, all the weak spots usually pop out. Sometimes I cringe when I see pieces done years ago. I want to snatch them out of their frames and correct things I wasn't even aware of when it was painted. But then again, it is nice to know I have progressed to the point that I am able recognize the weak spots in older works.
