My youngest daughter. I painted this when she was 3 years old. She’s 31 now and just had her first child, a daughter, so I thought it appropriate to get this old portrait out again. Oil on canvas, 1980.

that’s an incredibly good oil painting, the colours are just so warming and lovely, as is the child, i love her eyes and the hair is so great

Diana, what beautiful work. The birth of your daughter’s daughter is a perfect time to share this oil painting with us. I too was 31 when I had my first child. Joyous time.

Thank you all! I felt a little strange bringing this out of the closet after so many years! I was afraid my painting style would seem dated. It feels really good to have your comments.
