Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I painted this today, it is in oil on a 8 X 10 Raymar panel. A couple of weeks ago Susan Carlin painted this little girl on her Ustream show. It is a photo taken from the Wetcanvas photo library. This is a different photo of the same little girl and I just loved the one Susan did so I wanted to try my hand at it. I did take on a last minute commission right before Christmas and I am buying myself a studio easel with the money, woo hoo! Love new art supplies! Happy New Year to all of you.

Barb, you painted such a cute little cherub! A new easel - wow! Way to paint on! HNY!
Hi Pete, Thank you and thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you too
Hi Pattie, I should have looked at her for a few days probably before I posted her, I may have to go back and play with it a bit. Hard to call them done. Glad you like her though.
Nice little portrait, Barb!
Congratulations on the commission and the resultant new easel!
May your New Year be filled with happy commissions!
Hi Dean, Thank you for your good wishes and I am glad you like my painting. If you came back to read my response I worked on the painting a bit more and reposted the photo. I raised her hair up a bit and I feel better about it now. "now" it is done. lol
Barbara, she is so sweet. Good work.
A new easel! great investment. Keep up the good work for the coming year.
Hey Peggy, Glad you like my little gal, so fun to paint. I am excited about my new easel, I don't have room but that didn't stop me, lol.
Oh Barbara she is so precious! And a new easel - isn't shopping for art supplies just so much more satisfying than shopping for anything else?
Hi Liz, Thank you so much. Yes, I would rather shop for art supplies than anything else. I can dress like a bum but I have to have my new art supplies, lol.
This is a truly beautiful painting Barbara. I especially love the fly away effect of the hair and overall softness. All the best with the new easel - I just got one for my birthday!
I really appreciate that Carol, so pleased you like it. A new easel for you also, I am happy for you too.
Happy New Year, Barbara -
Show us a picture of your new easel when you get it.
Hi Bill, Thank you for your good wishes. I will show it off when it arrives, only exciting to us artists, lol.
Barb this is precious.
BTW - I finally got around to responding to your tag.
