George on Montgomery
Here's a recent portrait I did of a two-year-old boy. Like most children his age, he was constantly in motion and had little interest in posing. The first day, I followed him around as he played, sketching him and trying to get a feel for typical expressions and gestures. I noticed he played a lot with toy tools and vehicles, and that he liked putting his train set together and taking it apart. Always busy! For the photo shoots I gathered some of his train set and set it up, leaving parts lying about, basically the way it was, but arranging it to form a better composition. His mother teamed up with me in keeping him focused. I took photos on two different days to keep the sessions short and to make sure I was capturing the right feeling and all the details I wanted to paint.
