Hello and welcome to my art work! **** This is a 20 X 24 oil on canvas painting of my 3 granddaughters when they were small. It has won 2 ribbons at art shows, the last one being a 2nd place ribbon. It has been very hard to get a "good" photo of this painting because of all the black background, so these photos don't do the picture justice but it's the best I can do! :) **** This was a real challenge for me because it was one of my first pictures and I was too naive to realize I was actually doing 3 portraits!!! :) I worked on this painting off and on for almost a year. I was told "the stripes will drive you crazy" and they almost did!! LOL Their mother had made their gowns and caps for their Christmas picture. I not only had the stripes to contend with but missing teeth in the first girl, biting lip in the second girl, and full teeth, hands on face, and pulling down lip on the 3rd one!!! LOL So I took many breaks and worked on other paintings in between times. This is of course my very favorite work for obvious reasons! :) The girls are all grown up now and very lovely women...2 married with 5 children including a set of twins each!! :) **** Thank you for stopping in to visit. I hope it was enjoyable. I appreciate all comments/suggestions... hugs to those who feel led to leave feedback! :) **** May you all have a wonderful day and may God Bless you richly!! :)
