I come back to the face

Whatever else I draw or paint, I always
return to the face.  My son Christopher
teases me because he finds me too
friendly -- but I do really love people.
And I am endlessly fascinated by
faces.  This morning I grabbed a beautiful
sketchbook I bought in Florence, Italy,
and did a quick sketch of a happy
face.

For me a smiling face is a wonder --
 a person's whole being seems to
light up with a smile.

Have a spreading-happiness-with-your-smile-day.
