I wonder if you can see the similarity between these two pictures. The one above was painted when she was about 3 or 4. The photo below, was taken considerably later.
Personally I don't think that she's changed too much, but maybe that's a father's view.
She was a very good sitter, and sat still for about 20 minutes; just enough to paint the face. The rest I did later.
When I painted a portrait of young Kimbo, aged about 2, he was quite a good sitter too. I failed to finish his picture and it remains half unpainted. However, he now looks nothing like how he did when he was small; so no point doing a comparison.
Lovely painting Cro.
ReplyDeleteI don't look anything like the tiny crinkled-edged black and white photos when I was very young - thank goodness!
You got her spot on. She seems to have a look of Cro about her
