My Grandson





Hi there, I took this photo several weeks ago of my grandson after a ball game. He sat down and turned his hat around. I took the first photo and he grinned and said "cheese", then he relaxed and put his hand up to block the sun and I took this one. You get much better photos if people aren't posing I think. This is oil on a 8 X 10 stretched canvas. Hope you are enjoying your day!
