Summer Time is Near (12x12) oil
I've been sketching my daughter lately, and wondering why I've waited so long to do so. Of course when she was a little younger, she had neither the interest nor the discipline to hold a pose for me, but we could have been collaborating sooner that now had I been paying attention.... Remember John Lennon singing, "Life is what happens to you while you're
busy making other plans"? Well, that's a truism for sure!
The Asian Parasol (12x12) oil
I am very observant when it comes to our daughter and how fast she is growing and changing, but my notion to paint her was somehow subliminally shelved until just the other day....sure glad I woke up in time! I have 2 more of these in progress on easels right now with more ideas to come; I just have to negotiate compensation with my entrepreneurial mini-model (and of course my wife's opinion on which ones are not for sale)...
Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe suis éblouie par la beauté de ces deux peintures de votre fille. Je pense que les choses doivent prendre le temps de mûrir... et ce moment-là est venu pour vous de la peindre.
Bravo l'artiste.
❀ Gros bisous ❀
