Portrait of Amir

Last November.2018, we celebrated my grandson Noam's Bar-Mitzva. As usual, took lots of photos, wish I had taken more. One imparticular of my grandson Amir just kept saying "paint me" He was sitting with his mobile phone and looked up as I shot the image.

I have no idea why this post was left.... time to post.
I enjoyed doing this painting but looking back I find things that could be fixed. He looks like he,s seated in the air! My constant critic!
Every painting a learning experience. Although no features are painted it is definitely Amir

Now for a painting of him drumming

Checking off the List

I seem to be always making lists. To do stuff, what I want to do today, mostly dealing with my creative practice, which seems to be so overwhelming that I am exhausted before I even start.
This post was at the head of my list, maybe almost a week ago. I am now going to date them as if that will help in some ways. Two were left undone. When I finish this post one left which I  put on today's new list. The old one in the wastebasket.

Amir, 17, where have all those years gone! May you reach all your goals!
