Cole Lofgran, one year old grandson

While I was working on the Portrait of the Young family I had some baloons in my studio and grandson Cole (child of my daughter Summer and her husband Mitchell Lofgran) was playing in my studio with some of the baloons. As so often happens with fleeting moments of light and life, I grabbed my Nikon and shot a bunch of pictures. I love to paint models from life but when it comes to young children and animals you pretty much have to have the camera handy.
