Painting Children

Well, it's been a crazy week... My niece had surgery so I have been in Atlanta helping my niece and her husband with their children, Ramey Kate (see my painting of her in my gallery) who is almost two years old, and Warren who is 9 months... I haven't painted at all this week but have the desire to paint more children's portraits... I want to capture that innocence, that vulnerability, that exuberance... I have taken some photographs and hope to do some sketching before I head back to Florida on Monday.
I have renewed admiration for moms... boy this has got to be the world's hardest job!  by their nap time I am pooped and by their bedtime I am really ready to sleep too.  How do they do it all!?  Here's to all the mom's who are also artists and find the time to paint or sculpt or create whatever they are creating.
