That was a very sweet comment, Patricia. I've realized that since I only posted this painting--and that it's only number one of a series I'm doing--it may seem strange that I painted her with her fingers in her mouth! I'm surprised that without knowing that you still thought it captivating. The fact that it makes a grandma smile, makes ME smile :) Thanks again!

Natalie, if this were part of a large genre scene it could be in a museum. There is a timeless beauty in this portrait of your daughter.

Wow, Alex. Thanks! That means a lot coming from one as accomplished as yourself.

Wow, Natalie, this is captivating and magical. Well done! I look forward to the many sequels.

Natalie, I am so pleased to see you post this phenomenal painting of your baby girl! It nearly took my breath away when I saw it in person! She is just a treasure and your portrait of her shows the viewer how much she is loved. I'm clapping my hands for you! BRAVO

Garth and Mara, thanks for your flattery. Whenever I feel the air leaking out of my head, I'll check back on this forum and re-read your responses to blow it back up again. :)
