My daughter, Kezia at 9 months gets her first portrait in oil.
I had a lot of problems with the distortion and foreshortening corrections that need to be made when working from photos and it seems the front hand suffered in the end. But overall I enjoyed the process and that is the gaze she gives me when she is strapped down in her bouncer and daddy is trying to paint!

Oh my Gosh....... she is so beautiful and for Easter she looks like she just got hatched from a special flowers. I love her face and the light on it. I see the hand been a little difficult as you say but this piece is so precious for that look she gives you......lol Blessings to your family this Easter.
Thanks Dominique, blessings to you too!
she looks very sweet... there can be no expression that can replace the eagerness that children show "to get out" when they feel their movement is going to be restricted... and you have got that expression right...
Yes Rohit, a child's face can speak a thousand words! Sometimes the gaze is just too deep you just feel them piercing through your soul!
She is precious! Beautiful portrait!
Oh my Adebanji, this is precious...I can feel the love you have for her!
Thanks Dana and Alexandra!
This is a wonderful portrait. The colours are strong, but soft, not detracting from the baby.
I love that direct look she's giving you, trying to guilt you out for not paying attention to her. She's really a beautiful child and will so appreciate these moments that you capture for her into future.
A wonderful painting
"ditto" what all the others said.
darling child! and i enjoy that you are a "process" person with these sketches and other works. great stuff.
Thanks Jeanette you are right about the "guilt out" bit!
Thanks Anthony and Barbara!
She is lovely and I love the colorful stroller.
Have a happy Easter with your family.
toll, so schön, absolut gelungen.
viele Grüße Werner

It's just gorgeous Adebanji, and so is your little princess! Wishing you and your family Happy Easter.
Your little princess is gorgeous and seeing her through your eyes is a treasure for all of us!
What a delightful painting of a lovely child. I enjoy the rich colors.
Banji, everything about this is just marvelous...including Kezia and her paintin' Papa. Dana is so correct when she said your love shows right through this painting. I hope you and your family have a meaningful and joyous Easter.
Love it, love it, love it! You did an awesome painting! You so captured her focus! She is truly precious! Thank you for sharing! Joyous celebration of our risen Savor Jesus!
Absolutely beautiful. This is one painting she'll treasure. Her face speaks volumes, she can't wait to be back in your arms. Nice one.
A Beautiful painting of a beautiful girl.
