Merry Christmas Grandpa

[Enyaw]

11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Feb 22/24
My granddaughter: painted from a photo I took of her in her Christmas (Little Gas Costumed) dress. She was 5 if memory serves me.
I said I wasn't going to paint any more portraits but my wife reminded me that I have never painted portraits so before I quit I should paint at least a dozen or more. So I tried this. I am happy with it because I got the likeness.

That’s a wonderful portrait, Wayne, and I hope you listen to your ever-so-wise wife and keep going.
