Ingrid, 8 x 10 oil on board |
This song came to mind while I was painting baby Ingrid. The song Stevie Wonder wrote for his own daughter.
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love
I always thought the last line was, "But isn't she lovely little daughter". No daughter in it at all....go figure.
Of course, I mean the baby is lovely, not the painting. That needs work.. I changed her mouth some, because she looked a little unhappy.
This is my friend's grandchild, and I can't wait to surprise her with it on Friday. She wants to give it to her daughter for Christmas. She's so sweet all snuggley in her lambie cap. Isn't she?

creating art is a beautiful thing. it's a select few who can capture in portraiture that beauty. i'm so glad to see people requesting your paintings, you will go far with this gift.
