Cutie patootie Work in progress-8"x10" oil on canvasboard

Once a month at the museum we have a program for moms and their little ones- they come for a story, art and snack. I feel old and grandmothery already- I just adore these little ones! This girl Catherine was quite willing to pose for me and I have decided to paint

her . Of course there is a flower- her plastic barrettes!

Here is the beginning drawing...

then I started painting (sorry-glare)

and here is where I needed to stop for the morning

WOW those eyes are blue! I will keep at it and we will see.

Heres a shot of my studio...

These are all iphone pics by the way....
