Oh my gosh, look at those plaintive eyes. He has a piercing gaze, I can only imagine what this handsome boy is thinking. A beautiful portrait, so well done, Sandra. Can I be your hubby for a day? I can provide my own lunch bag.
Lol! Sorry, I’ve had this hubby for 37 years now and I’m to used to him to take on anyone else. Thank you for the compliment!
