Art Imitating Life


A few months ago Owen drew his first real person.  His eyes lit up with accomplishment when he realized that he could, in fact, draw pictures that actually look like something.  Though I'm not really the sentimental type, I saved his first drawing (pictured below) because there was something about his kind, unassuming smile that I liked.  Something sort of familiar...  


For some reason, the first guy that Owen drew reminds me of the tall guy in the center of this picture: 


And he also sort of reminds me of the tiny guy in this picture: 



Who just recently became the big kid in this picture:


And something about those smiles makes me so happy I did this exactly seven years ago:
