Merci beaucoup Michele!
I read in a magazine, when asked " what is success?", an artist answered : " The approval of fellow painters."
I feel very successful !

Cindy,
if you want to develop a unique concept, it shouldn't be too difficult with a 4 years old, which can cooperate better than a baby. But you have to work before and to be very concentrated on what you want. A good idea would be to know few things about her before ( what she looks like, is she shy or not...) It will help you visualise what you can do.
Look at the PAINTINGS you like ( try to forget all the images and photos we are submeged everyday, you are a painter, not a photographer)
Good luck with this commission!
