aww, very cute :) and nice painting

Thank you, Kostadin. It was fun as always. Don't know if it came through, but some paintings almost seem to have a little bit of your heart attached to them.

you really captured the emotion here..I love the perspective

Thank you, Christine. She looked so tiny that day. The brush she picked up was not even one of the larger brushes, which tickled me because she seemed to know which one was about "her size." Even though it wasn't a large brush, it looked rather large in her small hands.

Beautiful!, beautiful, beautiful!

Thank you, Raul. That is so sweet.

I saw this and wanted to tell you much I loved it--especially the toes!!!!! 

so quite !

Kisu, thank you. I re-visited those toes more than once. As you can see, she definitely had the toes on that one foot somewhat curled under.

Antonin, at this point she still wasn't talking much - as you can see, it didn't really take any words on her part.

Margo

Apparently I can barely write in English. I meant So cute !

Very nice work ;)

Not a problem, Antonin. Thank you so much for the compliment.

I'm impressed with this piece...the perspective, the back ground, the choice of hues...Good Job.

Yha Yha, thank you so much for your kind comments.

I like the feeling that I am in the room with the child. The prospective was well done to accomplish this. You brought the viewer right into the painting. Well done Margo.

Gene, thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my painting and for pointing out specific details that you like. It really helps.

Excellent!  You have captured the feeling of "how can I say no???????"

Everyone is spot-on with their comments. This is just GREAT!

Bo, if I managed to get people to feel that, then my mission was accomplished. That was exactly what I was feeling and exactly what I wanted to express with this painting. Thank you so much for your comments.

Skylar, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comments about the painting. Hope all is going well with your project on digital painting. It sounds really exciting.

In case I don't get anything else posted before the holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays to everyone!

Margo, this is adorable, I love the perspective and the captured moment!!  REally well done!

Donna, thank you so much for your comments. This is probably my favorite painting even though I had so much trouble getting the paint to stay on the paper. Parts of it kept lifting, I think because I used some yellow ochre, which is a color that I almost never use. At any rate, I can still see her sweet little face looking up at me with those pleading eyes and that little house paint brush that was almost as big as her. She didn't have to say a word (she wasn't really talking yet). All you could do is melt and say of course you can paint. I held her as she diligently painted part of the wall. It was one of those "moments" that I will always treasure.

John, thank you so much for your comments.
