Terri - Your painting, "Daddy's Girl" really yanks my heartstrings and brings tears to my eyes. It is beautiful. It just blasts warmth. I love it. Thank you for posting it.

Terri,

This really is a great portrait - that little girl can almost laugh with glee - really and truly! You should be so proud of yourself.

Thanks for sharing this second portrait with us - and it was hard work that paid off on your part I'm sure.

Congratulations to you!

Denise

Ngaire, Thanks! It was stressful to re-do... really am just glad to be done with it (again!). . . it took me three times as long this time around compared to the first. (Probably 'over-thought' it a little bit whereas the first time around was just going with the flow. . .)

Thanks Carol! My kids laugh at me because I tear up at the drop of a hat... movies... even commercials that strike a chord (these days, anything about kids growing up). You're reaction makes me feel like this communicates what I was wanting to convey. Thanks!

Denise --thanks so much!

Terrri, my kids laugh at me too, still. Mine are now 36 and 34. There once was a Kodak commercial that played a song about how we "turn around and they are small, turn around and they are ...gone." It showed kids through each stage...oh, boy. When that commercial came on, our kids didn't even watch it, they just turned around and looked at "Mom", saying, "There she goes again."

The emotional content that you got in your picture captures just what I strive for. The figurative that I just posted in the figurative critique section (Almost Ready) is a picture of my, now grown-up daughter, looking beautiful, with HER daughter on the bed next to her. It must not have had the emotional message yours did, or I would have gotten more responses. I took the photo while I staying with them on a business trip in Calgary. Oh, boy, better stop here.

You did an awesome job. Your message comes through loud and clear.

Hi Carol-- Of course I had to go and look up your 'Almost Ready' painting (very nice! ) I can see how that would be a poignant moment, with the intergenerational aspect... your own grown daughter, with her daughter and probably you feeling the passage of time and recalling similar moments when it was your daughter who was the little one. Too bad life doesn't come with a 'Pause' button, no?

Ouch and wow Terri!

Soon you'll be working for some guy in a smokey room doing copies of masters for auctions!
