Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on portraits of my three grandchildren — a task much less ‘fraught’ than the commissioned portrait I showed you last time. Here’s the one that’s farthest along, after about eight hours of work. I see lots of ‘issues’ still to be resolved, but it’s in a much better place than the other one ever reached. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Oh Precious!!!!
Simply precious!
Having met this grandson, I see how you have really captured his beautiful spirit!
Thanks, Sara! Actually, this was the next-to-last iteration! The proud parents nixed the mouth on this one and, after studying my reference photos a bit longer, I had to agree — and made adjustments before ‘declaring’ it.
