My niece who is now a grandmother for the first time asked me to do a grandson painting for her. She sent a couple of photos to choose from, this reference I knew in my heart was the best but the prospect overwhelmed me. I had to pump up my confidence and really I thought what's the worst that could happen, a ruined panel and a bruised ego. Been there, done that. Making some changes from the photo reference, I pumped up the color a bit and removed some clutter from the bottom with a few other minor changes. The photo reference was beautiful telling such a sweet story. Sometimes you have to put your big girl pants on and move forward, I'm glad I did.
Congrats to my niece, what a blessing to hold your new little one and show him the world.
