Baby portrait ....Hayley


Yesterday I painted this while I sat at an art show (emphasis on "show"). It was supposed to be a demo but only a few people stopped to watch and whenever I looked up and said "hi", they would scatter.....because I'm so scary. lol
This painting is a good example of why I love watercolors. Their amazing ability to look spontaneous and fresh even when they are carefully controlled.....
This is a painting of my now 13 year old daughter when she was around 8 months old. 7 x 5.
