"Grandma's Mirror" - In progress 1

Maddie was playing with his Grandma's mirror. I tried to get him to turn the mirror to that precise spot where I could see his little face in the mirror. He was vigorously turning it every which way. Just for a split second he turned it so his eyes met mine in the reflection - his face lit up - and I got the shot. (I have a really fast shutter-finger after 36 years experience with a camera: I started at age 16 with pro-level equipment - thank you forever, Dad.) 

The sketching process was completed (below), working on a charcoal-grey ground, 20 x 26 inches. Today the first thing I draw is Grandma's hand-painted wooden mirror. (scroll down)
