At Age Fifteen by Theresa Oats

My son, Jim's stepson, posed in my studio on a Saturday. He did an excellent job of being still, but all he could think of was the fun he was missing with his friends. I kept this image

sketchy so he could enjoy his day off from school. I like the way it turned out because it

captured his likeness and his restlessness at the age of 15.
