The edgy fluidity of the watercolor is perfect too. Bravo!

Oh Garth, how lovely! At the risk of sounding obsequious, I'd like to say your
words outshine my little painting. Thank-you so much.
On another note, I tried to paint another child, not my own, and couldn't get it right at all. It was very much a case of going through the motions. When it comes to William, or painting anyone or any theme I love dearly, there is such a strong sense of knowing what I want to achieve and how to do it.
