Are you awake?

I know my son, a hard working university student,isn't sleeping enough. When he asked me to Skype
him today, and I saw that he was snuggled up in bed,
and I was happy. He was grabbing a rest between
rehearsals for his final play. As a parent seeing
your child, sleeping, or even resting reminds you of all
the times you tried so hard to get that baby to sleep
when he was little. So I didn't mind talking to sleepy
Sam at all.
I did this little drawing to catch the mood. I may
do a series if I have the time.
Have a getting-enough-sleep day.

Ah, it's sweet. I like your sleepy Sam drawings. Your paintings and your words are always a breath of fresh air.
i know what you mean about looking at your kids(whatever age) sleeping, brings back those memories for sure. I love the sleepy portraits.
Thanks Kim I'm so glad you like it.
I love. Your work
Happy crazy early spring.

Thanks Sally,
I'm so glad you like them. I like the fact that Skype can give you images you wouldn't otherwise get -- strange angles and close ups.
XO
