Angel Baby

Here is the latest change--it is now 7/29/12---i have tried and tried to get this to look more like my sweet granddaughter--I have put a closeup of this change--it does look a little like her and I hope I am finally finished--that took what? 1 or 2 years? oh, I guess you could say I don't give up! lol from here on down the conversation is from loooong ago! :-)


I have changed this so many times--I wish I could get a picture that looked more like the painting--It all started when I decided the background and her dress were not to my liking--i wanted to paint it looser. My daughter told me to go to another painting and leave this alone--lol--as i have changed this several times. I have never changed a painting as much as i have this--aargh

 You can see the earlier version in July or Aug on this blog.

Ok this may be the last change--if not it is going in the trash-brought the dress more in focus--it is now not so loose but also not as tight--and I changed the background--I may post again after it drys and is varnished. I'm exhausted. ... Happy New Year!!

Is this the 3rd or 4th try? This is one that sat a long while till I had time to work on it--The picture is not quite true to the colors--especially the lillys--they are more of a coral orange.
Hope everyone is all ready for Christmas--we are going to do Christmas Saturday with my daughter and her family cause last year I got them on Christmas day so this year its her in-laws turn. I hope that made sense!
Well Merry Christmas and blessings in the year to come.

I wanted to have this on my blog during  the wonderful season we are in--How fast it came this year. 

This is not an orginal painting but one that I painted in class several years ago. It makes everyone smile.

This painting is in  my collection and is not for sale, however, I would paint it again (it was fun) for $350 (18x24) unframed if someone should so desire.

As Tiny Tim would say, "God bless us everyone"
