Not much to show of late, unfortunately. My mind races nearly constantly with all sorts of things from work problems to the impending birth of our twin girls in the next couple weeks. It races so much so, that when I do have an hour to spend alone (of sorts), as in the hour I had last week waiting for my daughter to finish her tumbling practice, and with the premeditated intent of sketching in the sketchbook, I could do nothing more than stare at the blank page before me for at least five minutes without a hint of what to sketch.
So, I flipped through the images on my phone and came upon a photo of our boys dressed in their superhero outfits, and decided to draw Owen, who had the impressive combination of a Spiderman suit with a cowboy hat. The hat was red, so it matched. Even if it hadn’t, the combo was impressive!
