In your single comment, you've touched upon something none of the above commenters have, and something I didn't think of sharing on my own. There is a very special intimacy that I cannot describe, when you're sketching your own mother. It is a strange feeling, giving shape to the form that gave form to you. Just like a mother nurtures a child, disciplines him, feeds him - an artist evolves the form of the image, tweaks, prunes and erases the unnecessary parts, and enlivens it with color and contrast! The artist ultimately gives birth to his art form, so there's an infinite loop created when the art form is the artist's creator. Much like Escher's 'Drawing Hands'. Poorna, welcome to my blog!

Rather than let my sketch do the talking, I should've said let my affectionate blog readers do the talking! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm trying to build it up inside myself. Let's see...
