Good humored children

Vianna, these are absolutely vibrant! Thank you for posting these.

Thank you for the comments Thomasin, Linda, Alexandra, and Mischa.

These were a lot of fun to set up. The kids are real troopers about posing and twisting and having hot lights pointing at them. I really enjoyed painting the red shawl against my daughters pale skin and using it as a major compositional element. She is very dramatic and can strike some great poses. I like that you responded so well to my sons painting. I loved the teenage boy slouch and the strong shadow seemed to fit with all the uncertainty and hope of his age. I am hoping to do an oil of him with his banjo before he graduates.

Linda, I have been fitting these around some commissions I am finishing up. The economy in Michigan is very bad but one good thing is all those buy-out employees want art lessons.

Thank you again for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.

Hi Sharon,

I am also saving for their college! I hope there is a good nursing home in this deal for me.

Thank you for your kind words.

I hope so! They should be grateful for these exquisite paintings of them.

I think they should pay for the portraits, they are so beautiful.

Lovely work, especially the one of your son!
