Les Ballons Rouges

When these two little girls scurried past me , deep in conversation, oblivious to everything, and loosely clutching a couple of balloons I just quickly sketched them. Most of it is from memory because they were gone in a flash, but I could see their red balloons floating far in the distance. Rather like our childhoods. Just blink and it's gone!
