Painting my Grandbaby

It's official—I'm a granddad. Here she is at five months old.



I made a YouTube video about painting this portrait in gouache.

Congratulations James and family! Such a cute baby. Did Jeanette knit that beautiful sweater?

Those eyes! So sweet. As it happens, “Granddad” wound up being my appellation. I wonder if you’ll be that or Grandpa, or one of the many other variations. Regardless, congratulations.
