The talent that comes through in this rendering is astounding! I wish I could become even a third as good as you are, Dan. The child's expression is priceless!

Artist Reply: I'm a former teacher and still love kids. I'll bet you do too, Anna Marie. Dan

Perfect capture of a young child's innocence and curiosity about the world

Artist Reply: Thanks, Sarah. Kind words coming from an accomplished artist like you. This work was done from a photo her mother supplied. I liked the lighting, especially the way light caught the eyelashes on her far eye, but in the photo you cannot see what she's looking at. I added the stick and caterpillar to strengthen the painting's story. Dan
