A Painting A Day

I don't do enough pencil sketches these days. I usually just jump right into painting without doing any drawing. I did this quickly today, and enjoyed working with a different medium so much! It's a study for a larger painting I plan to do.

I have to call this heavenly! It was the look on my 14 year old son's face watching the gogo dancers at Heavenly Ski Resort. The expression on his face is so hard to capture - it's knowing, inquisitive and amused all at the same time. This is just a sketch - with pastels - not meant to be a final piece. Just trying to capture that look.
