cutie pie

 One day I am going to get one of these.  It will have to be in the grandchild form but I am hoping to get one.  Since none of my sons are dating anyone in particular I better be careful what I wish for.  I can wait.
This is a commission piece for a couple that I have done several kid paintings for.  I have not painted on this type of panel or a black ground in a while.  I love the way the colors pop on the black ground.  A la one of my all time favorite artists Karin Jurick.  This is painted on an 8 x10" ampersand panel.
Good news....my chances of getting wet at the Saturday art show are down to 30%.  I prefer to think of it as a 70% chance I do not get wet.sold

  1. So adorable~! And I want one too - in about 7-10 years! I have so much going on (and I know I'd drop everything once I look into those baby blues) I'm happy with my Grandcats for now. I love, love the colors in the water's edge! - this is Kelley MacDonald - my husband's name keeps coming up, even though I sign out!

  2. Une peinture qui me remplie d'émotions en l'admirant... Il y a tant d'innocence dans cette oeuvre... Une grande spontanéité dans la touche et des couleurs sublimes qui en font une peinture très gracieuse.

  4. Carol, I think this is a new favorite - one of your best with a little one as the subject. I am not sure if it is her curly hair, her posture - one I've seen in babies many times - or even the black underpainting. No matter why, it is truly gorgeous!
