Artist's statement: We could hear our grandson playing on the patio when I shouted up saying that we (both grandparents) were passing by. He ran over to a gap in the patio glass to have a look and see if he could spot us. We laughed when we could see that he had muddy hands as he had been playing in the soil, which had just been put down for some newly planted bushes. I joked with my wife saying that he looked like a convict trying to escape from prison!
