Drawings of Contentment 

Drawing people in real time is always a challenge. Everybody seems to squirm around and never sit still long enough for something to look perfect. But sometimes, when luck is on my side, I get the rare chance to capture somebody in the moment. Being in the moment I find that people have no sense or need to worry about the future and the past nor the need to think they are making an awkward pose.
