I received news today from my mom that my good friend and senior year art teacher, Mr. Wood passed away on Tuesday from the cancer he had. I will sorely miss that good man. He was always so happy to see me and my art and he touched so many lives around him at church and at school. The world is a little dimmer with the loss of this great man and artist but I guess now Heaven is a little brighter now that he's there.

I sketched this portrait of him as a lion while telling Mael's mom about this sad event.
