The weather is so cold! I think that must be why I decided to paint a picture inspired by the last time we vacationed in the tropics. This is the first time I have ever painted a picture of my two kids, the two cuties in the middle. For those of you who know my son, this painting says it all! He is a leader for good or bad, but mostly good. He loves calling the shots, making the plan, picking the teams, and in this instance, these plans do not include his little sister! She remembers this day very well, the day the boys would not let her play. These are the trials of being a little sister and that is why I titled this one, "Little Sister".
I will say, it was fun to see my kids cute little faces while I worked on this painting. This has inspired me to take my work in a new direction. This year I would like to focus on "portraiture". I just bought a book by Jan Kunz, titled "Watercolor Portraits That Glow". The reviews were really awesome so I am super excited for it to get here. I have been feeling a little stuck and unfocused artistically, so it will be great to get some new inspirations and a new focus, right along with the new year! That being said, "Happy New Year" everyone!
