A wonderful artist in California just sent me these drawings of the boys. I always knew that I wanted portraits of Cole, Carson and Quinn, but I didn't have the right person until I went back to Los Angeles over spring break and ran into Nancy Julson-Rieley's work in a store in Silver Lake. Working off photographs of the boys, she deftly captured the essence of their faces. The size of each portrait is a modest 5x7 inches, but I think they are just the right size to mark this stage in their lives. Perhaps I will commission her again to do three more portraits down the road when they hit the teenage years, or go back and have her capture an earlier time.
