I have not felt like writing, or maybe I just didn't feel I had anything to say. Maybe a little of both. My house is quiet, a blessing...All I can hear is the rain, pouring, hard hitting rain. I really like the sound.
As I sit and think about it a little I do have something to write about. The charcoal below was done by my grandson. He is applying to colleges at present as he graduates high school this spring. Now that, in and of itself, is hard to believe. The other day he applied to art school ... We have some great schools here in New England. He has a portfolio to finish by February 1. I am very excited and happy for him. I love that he and I can talk art and that he believes I may know something...A year ago he did not know what charcoal was. I showed him some of mine, gave him charcoal and paper for his birthday last summer. His teacher (he is in honors art in school) got him started with them and now it is his favorite medium.
Have a great day and thanks for reading.

That's really good. You should be happy and proud. See you tomorrow.
It's nice that your grandson shares your artistic bent.
Carol - this portrait shows your grandson has real talent, and it's a lovely connection between the two of you.

The drawing is very interesting because it imparts a mood.I particularly like the eyes.You must be so proud of your grandson and his work. You've certainly inspired him by giving him the tools........
