Allan, thank you! I think I have averaged one a year but I wish I had done more. Well with the amount of practice I need I can make up for lost time.
Linda, thank you so very much! I think I messed up by forgetting to note that this is oil. I'll try to go edit. It does drive me insane to work this small but I had to try it. This is the first time I have done a portrait this size. Everything else has been close to life-size. I must say, it makes an interesting presentation at this size.
Isabel, you are way too nice. Oh how I wish I was your age with your talent. Thank you for the compliment.
Richard, yes only one moment like this but the good thing is that every moment painted is the same way. Thank you for the nice comments on my little subject.
David, thank you for that succinct but slightly over-generous compliment. I will however take it and run.
Chris, you made my day because I always agonize over hands. That's probably why I do so many vignettes. The stress of painting hands all the time would kill me but ah, I'll tackle those fears and boldly go where I...no..well...we'll see.
Thank you to all of you for commenting on my little girl and on the painting.
