Lovely slurpy paint quality.

I applaud you trying to paint the impossible. However before the advent of cameras, the rich and famous were always desirous of having their precious little ones painted.

I am sure they must have sweated it out, so this is great practice if you ever want to do paintings of children for pay or fun (?) that have this spontaneous quality.

Sharon, thank-you! Sorry for the very late response. I have just been going through the paintings from life section and saw that, very rudely, I hadn't replied to you here.

I building up to doing another painting of my son from life - hopefully not quite so quick as this one. (I wish I could download Linda Brandon to look over my shoulder and encourage me onwards!).
