Nothing to do with wood just a lot to do with talent

Talent is amazing. I always think about watching Dave Hawksford at Larry's fix a scratch. A little of this, rub, rub,rub, a little of this, rub, rub, rub, and this ought to do it, rub, rub, rub POOOOOOFFF!!! I swear, just like watching a magician, that scratch faded, faded and then was gone!! :bow::bow:
 
About 48 years ago, first wife and i with our two kids were at Disneyland and there was a lady there doing charcoal portraits... pretty cheap for the time... we had both of the kids painted.... it cost more to frame them than it did to have them painted.
The artist captured both kids perfectly... Jason was only about 2 years and was pretty tired towards the end of the day... she even captured the fatigue in his little face.

Love your picture... cute little kid.
