Illustration Friday: Asleep

 I had the rare opportunity in two of my classes this winter to paint a mother and her four month old son. We had to be quick and patient, catching his quiet moments when we could. The atmosphere of the classroom was tremendously different on those days. Much more thoughtful and focused.

He might look peaceful in my quick sketches, but his sleepy moments were rather far and few between.

You'll find more sleepy moments at Illustration Friday.
