"Singing His Summer Song"


December 1, 2011.

Passion, not the cold, woke me up and got me out of bed this morning.  It got me up and into my seat so I could finish this portrait of a lovely young lady taking in the hot sun and the warm air on a beautiful summer's day.  Having listened to "Summer Song", a collaborative work from the Blackbyrds and the late, great Grover Washington, Jr., I thought that it would be an appropriate name for this drawing because it, meaning the song, captures almost everything I felt, saw, and experienced in the summers of my childhood.
