8x10 oil on canvas panelIn addition to the fuzzy photo and the fact that this is another figure painting, I had a new challenge here and that was painting the baby's skin contrasted with the Great Aunt. My favorite part of this are those itty bitty legs and that itty bitty little foot. Painting that part was one of those rare moments where the paint goes down one time and it's done! Thank you so much for visiting; I appreciate your comments!

Angela, this is so sweet. I enlarged the photo to view closely and I wanted to kiss kiss kiss those baby legs and hold the little footie, it is all too wonderful. The great thing about a fuzzy photo, it allows great liberty for softness, and you did a nice job on the entire painting, from baby to wonderful great aunt.
Aaaaah.... Nothing more precious then rocking a baby to sleep. Thank you bringing back such warm memories for me too Angela.
I can't believe you painted this from a cell phone photo...incredible!
The Great Aunt has such a loving, gentle expression and you captured that precious newborn's body so perfectly.
Now I need to go find a baby to hug!
Very nice feel to this...warm.
Angela, I love this painting...those itty bitty legs and feet are perfect...the softness is perfection...applause!!!
What a beautiful painting, Angela! Such a touching piece.
Beautiful painting with wonderful mood.
Kind regards
This is absolutely wonderful, Angela - very sweet with great brushwork.
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I have to say the one good thing about a fuzzy photo is no squinting, I saved wrinkles from forming around my eyes the afternoon I painted this.
This is so emotional painting. Baby legs are so adorable. Gr8 work! :)
Nice to find your blog.
