This is a lovely painting Barbara! It brings back fond memories of my own sons.
Barbara Jewell replied:
Thanks, Diane! Those memories are precious as that time is over all too quickly!

Just adorable - gotta love the scrunched up position and the teddy bear and blanket. Congratulations on the first place win in recent "Children as the Subject Matter" the contest.
Barbara Jewell replied:
Thanks so much, Nikolyn! I have my brother to thank for capturing a photo of his sleeping baby son from which I painted this image...a family favorite!

Karen Adams

Barbara, I know it's been a couple of weeks, but thank you so much for visiting my site and commenting on my dogwood painting. I was immediately drawn to this one 1) because I used to have a son this age haha and 2) it is endearingly beautiful and sweet. Painting like this with watercolors (and you know that is my forte) is extremely difficult and I do not paint people unless they are in silhouette. You have a magical tough. v/f
Barbara Jewell replied:
Lil, thanks so much for your visit and for your thoughtful, supportive comments on this piece! I seldom paint people either, and usually only do so for close friends and family members. This little guy happens to be my nephew, who has long since outgrown his crib! :-)

As a fellow watercolorist, you've done a masterful w/c job here, Barbara! Love the teddy's texture! David

This is marvelous! No one could look at this and not be touched, first by the subject, and then when one realizes the skill involved.
