update
Thanks everyone for the comments! Well the fair is over and I'm so happy to report that I've sold the painting at it's asking price to a major art collector here in Minnesota who saw the painting at the show. The cool thing too is that he is in the process of constructing an art museum in Armenia, and so maybe I'll be able to say that I actually have a work hanging in a museum soon - and a painting of my son no less.
Dreams do come true!
Linda

Congrats Linda, that's well-deserved. What a beautiful work you produced. Maybe someday I'll visit it in a Museum.

Linda, I saw your painting at the fair last Saturday! It's wonderful! Steven was right; it caused traffic jams! Congratulations!

Twice now I've painted a portrait of my son, twice they've been accepted at the State Fair competition, and twice now the paintings have been purchased by collectors. I think I should ust stick to painting my kid!
I shoud have mentioned this earlier, and now it's kinda embarrassing to bring it up, but the painting is done in a spring setting. You may see the dandiliions in the field. The colors in the original is less intense than how it look online, and apologize that I didn't clarif y this from the first comment.
my bad
