Hi Everyone,
Today is the day for the Cook-Waller Challenge for March. Crystal came up with the theme of "new" for this month. I immediately knew that I wanted to paint my boys when they were newborn. I have always loved Carol Carter's growth series where she has painted a portrait of her son every year of his life, she is currently on year 26.
I have to say I have such a respect for Crystal Cook and her portrait abilities because I felt lost during these paintings. I may attempt them again. I will say that my photo reference pool was not that great. I wish I had better pics with great lighting when they were newborn.
We are on Spring Break this week so I'll be back Friday with another feature:)
Carrie
