"The jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up
and playing her tune.
I come home
from a hard day's work
and you're waiting there.
Not a care in the world."
- Seals and Crofts

This summer finds us completely engrossed in characterization. Seemingly endless daydream-like discussions coalesce into a sketch; lines form the boundaries of a figure. After literally endless hours, I can say endless because the hours haven't ended yet, the sketch turns to form. Body will soon, with a little forcing, and cajoling and coercing, meet soul.
It's been a long time, another hard go; we've been working on a million things at once. The 'final' original, to the left, was thoughtfully provided and beautifully rendered by A.D.; I have gotten permission of theMomma to share it with you. I say the pants are jeans; A.D. had something more European in mind.
Since he'll wear the pants in the family, I guess they can be whatever he wants.
