I love it, the colours are really nice and the baby is really cute!

This is a very late post. The baby is fantastic! Truly!

Thanks crazy Dave for the heads up email and the compliment. You're right, if straycat says something is perfect you know you've done good!

Thanks Duey for the compliment, it's always an ego boost getting compliments from you. It's kind of like you're the all knowing god looking down upon us from the "site administrator" throne. (in a good way of course)

Straycat - thank you for the compliments! I actually haven't posted my finished version of the painting but you can go to my website and see it on my home page. I did blend the background more and did some more to the hair. I was pretty happy with the result but better yet the customer loved it. For blending i used my smudge sticks and napkins, sometimes fingertips.

Hi Christy- I am so glad you dropped in! I thought it'd be nice to have such a gifted artist re-appear to for us. We can all benefit from your observations, and works. I pat me on the back!

Well, Straycat- it's simply a reference to your unfailing acuity in posting of observations. You've earned it!
