Bearing the Weight of *his* World

Bearing the Weight of *his* World - Watercolour - 20" x 28" - April 2012

FINISHED!! This took WAY longer than I anticipated, and there grew a point when I wasn't really satisfied.... until finishing up today. Phew! I did a little scrubbing here, added a wash or two there, et voila!! I am so glad I toughed it out. There was so much detail in the skateboard, that I thought it might take away the focal point from my son's face, but in the end, I think I succeeded in keeping him the center of attention.

Anyway, my son Ryan... he's a 13-year old boy, just doing what he loves to do... skateboarding is his life, and if he could be the next Tony Hawk, he'd be happier than a pig in s**t!! It's what he wakes up for each day, hence, bearing the weight of his world.

Thanks for looking!!
