My almost four year old grandson, Joseph, very graciously posed for me the other day. I told him my idea, of an assortment of pitchers on a cloth, with him peeking over the tabletop. He got right into it, wanting to do it immediately. I set up the pottery, and he stepped behind the table. Well, he was really too tall to just peek over, but before I said a word, he crouched down just enough to create the scene I had imagined. What a guy!
I plan to finish this up over the weekend. Seeing it in this format helps me identify those areas that still need work, even though the colors are kind of weird in this scan. The yellow wall is showing all kinds of oddball hue variations, and the "seam" is definitely showing. I'm not the best technician! Hopefully I'll find a way to show it more accurately when it is complete.

I love the little expresso maker with the pizzelle which reminds me of a cathedral window and would be equally difficult to draw. Good job there.
The pottery is so well done and the little boy, just sweet.
Beautiful piece, this little fellow is so photogenic and adorable!
What a sweetheart! Liz, it already looks like a finished piece to my untrained eyeballs. Love all that blue and the details on the pottery. But what I am always drawn to in the end is your grandson. His expression is just sublime!
Hi Liz,this is fabulous!
It is indeed, fabulous. Beautiful composition and story. I wish it were mine!
