Here we have darling Ruby. Adorable, sweet, charming, huggy, spunky, quick, funny, smart Ruby. She’s my cousin Heidi’s little girl, Atti’s little sister.

I had started painting my portraits with such detail that they started to look like photographs. Nothing wrong with that, just not what I’m interested in.Continue reading “Sisters”
Hermanas
This is a fun start to what will be a beautiful painting. Unless something goes terribly wrong with my painting, there is now way this will be anything but beautiful because these are two of the loveliest girls around. Black hair, great eyebrows, brown eyes, perfect rosy skin. And the best dimples. You can’t seeContinue reading “Hermanas”
