Mother's Day Portrait

I was contacted by a friend of mine earlier in the week. He wanted me to do a portrait of their son for his wife to give her on Mother's Day. Of course, I obliged! It was a nice change of pace from the week I had previously. And it was to be done in pencil, which I rarely get to do these days. The great thing is that he had a wonderful photo for me to use as reference. It captured the joy and energy of this child. I just hope the mother likes it as much as I did. I almost didn't want to part with it!
