This is where I'd like to be. Warm breezes, cool morning, anticipating lots of fun during the day. This painting really called my name! So simple yet it can be challenging to paint!
This is one of my early portraits of Sam McMahon. He is still smiling but is 4 years old wearing a Batman shirt, coozies on his wrists and a towel pinned to his shirt! He won't hold still long enough for me to snap his photo!!
This was a commission I completed last year when a friend had her son's photo taken professionally. I got permission from the artist and dove right in! Benjamin is lovingly called Banjo by his parents and is such a lovely child that I couldn't resist the urge to paint him. I think I was able to capture his intensity and thoughtfulness in this painting. It was a lot of fun to paint!
