Mike,
At the beginning of my not so illustrious pursuit of the portrait I turned up my nose at the idea of painting children.
I have come to discover that these little people are far more interesting and challenging to do justice. In addition I have found that to create a happy client I must capture the identity of the child in the Parent's mind and not necessarily just a likeness.
The simple story conveyed by and for the third painting is illustrious of just how my pride causes me to overlook the beauty of a thing.
Thank you for the post.
