While tidying up my studio I came across  a few of my grandson Jack’s (age 3) paintings (the ones he was doing on that very upbeat painting video on my Facebook page)

I decided it would be interesting to use a part of one as a jumping off point for this week’s drawing. All the basic shapes and colors are his. I used the pens and colored pencils to outline/accentuate his shapes, then added a few of my own touches (the squiggly stuff on the upper right, the circles, of course, and the black areas creating the strong horizontal.)

About 50% his work and 50% mine.  A true collaboration, thus the title.

Another in the Weekly Drawing series. Inspired by a visit to the Landscape Arboretum followed by wine-tasting at a nearby winery, which led to a strange urge to do a colored pencil rendering. Now I have that out of my system.
