This was done for the WDE (Weekend Drawing Event) on WetCanvas this weekend. The reference was from Helen Percy Lystra, who happens to be a blogging buddy on my links. Check out her work if you have a chance. This is her gorgeous grandson. I've been experimenting more and more with portraits in that forum. This is about 4 x 4.

Adorable! You caught that soft, baby look that's so hard to capture.
this is just so sweet, you gave him such a cheeky chappie expression, love it...
Oh Joan! This is exquisite! You've caught that spark of excitement and interest in this little guy's eyes. And is that a little cleft in his chin I see? Be still my heart!!
