delicate

  I am at a point in my life when I love to see little kids.  It has been a long time since I have had to take care of them so maybe that is why I take such delight in them.
I painted this on an 8 x 10" linen panel.  I am including a picture of my reference photo. I liked the little girl but wanted to put her in a different setting. I might paint her again and change the background for a different effect.

  2. The soft background goes very nicely with the soft treatment you gave your subject.

  5. This is gorgeous, Carol. I think I like it so much because it reminds me of my youngest daughter when she was little. Her hair was just this color too.

  6. I can drop a couple of mine off at your house for a couple of weeks and you will have plenty of subject matter :)
