PORTRAITS FOR LIFE

Not like fishes!

Pastel & Coloured Pencils, 50 x 65 cm – 2009

…

I wanted to emphasize the impression of light, and this is why I didn’t put too many details.

This little boy has got a sister some days ago, a tiny little thing, and I saw her photo on the day she was born. I couldn’t believe what I saw and screamed:

“Look, Kevin, she is already completely formed!”

Kevin looked at me, amazed, then started laughing:

“What did you thunk, that they look like fishes when they come out?”

Honestly: I have no idea what I was thinking, but fact is that never before in my life  I had seen a a 12 hours old baby!
