Putt, putt, putting around! The little Golfer

This is the grandson of a dear friend.  The whole family golfs and they have hit the links with the little one already.  I love the gesture in this on..the child looks so casual...so confident.  I just love the body language.  

I talk about sketching a lot.  I think it is very important to my development to sketch as often as I can.  I have often felt bad about my sketching...it isn't pretty.  I have been chastised during classes for not having cleaner lines..."Strong, bold lines are what is required" I am told.  I just can't seem to get there.  I have decided my style is scribbling...I like scribbling.  There is no pressure...it is what it is...scribbling.  So here is my latest scribble.  I often sketch...or scribble in the evenings...Bruce is a easy model.  When no one is there I pull out my mirror and do a self portrait.  I have done dozens.  So, now I embrace the scribble!  I feel so much better!

William Francis Bennett IV...my cousin.  He is a Director of Photography - Cinematographer out west.  I am sure you have seen some of his commercials...visit wfb4.com and you will be amazed.  Here is another link to some of his work .  He leads an exciting life and I live vicariously through his stories.  

The name William Francis Bennett is obviously very special to my family...as he is #4.  My grandfather was William Francis Bennett III.  And in case you are wondering...yes there is a William Francis Bennett V.
