What a delight to paint this beautiful child! I love painting so much and this little girl with her sweet and innocent beauty captured everything I would wish for children all over the world. I don’t know who she really is but I named her ‘Sarah’.
So, for my little ‘Sarah’ and all the little ‘Sarahs’ all over the world:
An Irish Prayer
May God give you… For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer.
My thanks to Anna on SXU for her permission to use her photograph as reference for this painting. I put the candle in the painting because I wanted the soft light on the little girls face, glowing and warm.
Wow Avril, this is truly wonderful, it touched my heart. Beautifully painted and your message was very special. My youngest granddaughter is named Sarah. Excellent work of art.
Thank you, Jim! Oh how wonderful that your little granddaughter’s name is Sarah! I love the name!
Avril, this painting is absolutely gorgeous, you’ve made it perfect….even the name you used for the little girl! Sarah is a wonderful name I think!! ;-) I love the details, the eyes, the expression on her face, the meaning of the subject……wonderful piece of art!!! Hugs my friend, great job!! xx A masterpiece!!

Gosh, Byron! Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! I felt like that when I saw the photo and if it means something to you, then I am very, very happy!
Aw Avril….this is perfectly lovely. It reminds me of my Holy Communion. The lighting is perfect and the prayer just so sweet. And…..to top it all….my name is Sarah :o) It’s gorgeous Avril xxxxxxxxxx
