Portrait of a Child (Pencil and Acrylic on Canvas)

I spotted this little gem when I was getting ready to leave. “Little” is inaccurate though since this thing was somewhere around 18”x24”.

Once again, I have to admit that I like this! It feels old, like pre-SocialMedia/SmartPhone old, or even older. An artifact from back when the world and the people in it were Authentically, Organically Real Human Beings instead of freaking Pod People in it only for the shares, likes, thumbs up and karma.

I see something like this and I wonder what the grown-up person who was once this baby is doing now…
