Tonight I found a photo that I took a couple summers ago in at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vigeland.museum.no\/en\/vigeland-park\" target=\"_blank\">Vigeland Sculpture Park<\/a> in Oslo, Norway.

The man seems both humble and heroic as he holds the baby. On a whim, I added color to the pencil sketch because the background in the photograph was pale sky, and the sculpture itself a steely, stone blue. But in the end it needed highlights, so I included a few patches and lines of white, which in turn reminded me of a chiaroscuro woodcut print.
