OPTIMISM


My granddaughter took this picture of herself. The face full of expectation and happiness had to be painted. I learned a lot from this painting. I felt more comfortable than on yesterday's portrait. There is a ton to learn about painting a face and I have only just begun. I remember being her age and full of wonder. Don't you remember?
I will rephotograph tomorrow because I keep getting a nasty glare.

Grandchildren are wonderful, aren't they? I have a friend who calls them her grand darlings. And this is a darling painting!
