I can't tell you how much fun it is to see your new work! These are gorgeous.

(LOL I like white fur too, think of Julie Christie in Dr. Zhivago)

Beautiful in every regard.

PS The boy reminds me a great deal of the Wyeth Helga paintings.

Alex, Michael, David, Ilaria, Chris : thank you for your kind words.
Yes pink cheeks and white fur : an unforgettable association !

Chris, when I was working on the boy's portrait, it was like a deep study of who this 3 years old boy will be as an adult, you sometimes can "feel " so much in connection with your subject... I think that's maybe the common point with Wyeth Helga paintings...
