Empty Nest begins

MY sons are growing up and off on their own- sort of. Kent called a couple days ago saying he might have the flu and then, after I urged him to go to the health center, I never heard from him again. Until last night when he told me- in a surprised kind of way- that he was just fine- and had just forgoten to call me back! My other son, Max's second football game was last night and I have yet to hear how it went.
He posed for me the afternoon he left for school- He posed with his grandma's hourglass. I like the painting because he is my baby but he looks on the brink of being a man, and yet... it is undeniable that time is pouring away! 6 x 6 inches on panel
