Description
It is very rare that I even try to paint or draw babies...mostly because their proportions are so different from grown ups.
This one I really had to force myself to do, and the reason was partly because it's so difficult...but also because he/she's so darn cute :p
It's not often I smile against the screen while I paint, but this one triggered a lot of smiles as the painting took shape.
I haven't posted any progress on this since I got too caught up in what I was doing, so instead I included a picture of it when I was about half way done.
I also focused mainly on the face on this one and didn't do much about the clothing.
Thank you for all your comments on my burning pain creature yesterday. There are reasons why I'm so creative and nothing works better than a bit of distraction. Sometimes you need to take your mind off yourself, ya know :)
Thanks for peeking in and I hope your weekend was a good one :D

PS. I would give credit to the photographer for the reference picture I used for this painting if I only knew who it was. But it's a stock photo from Shutterstock. Just so you know ;)

You put the right title on this. Pulls memories of my son when he was just a wee little one. Thank you so much for sharing this image. It does force a smile even on the hardest of faces. Excellent work
