Sleepy discussion

 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.

    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 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.
