Thank you, Chris, Garth and Bianca!

The pose was partially my son's idea. We tried several variations and this seemed to be the most interesting. I had a lot of doubt about leaving the space at the top. I haven't really left something empty like that, yet the particular pose and the mood created by the pose and expression seemed to call for it. When I blocked out the top with my hand, he looked crowded, somehow, and the painting was weaker. Garth was over at my studio one day and helped convince me to leave the space!
