This is my granddaughter Bianca getting ready for her dance recital. A sweet little dancer who is willing to pose for me anytime.... I took many photos of her but it was something about this pose that I fell in love with.
Every day I'm feeling a little better... I still go to Physical Therapy every day. What a great feeling waking up with less pain!! Life is so good!!! Thank you all for your previous comments...you are ALL so special and always make my day.

DeleteDear Hilda I wish you all the best for a speedy health recovery.
ReplyDeleteYour portrait is delicate and sweet ... Bianca is full of grace and the recital will be a great success. Grandma pride, yes .... Even grandaughter can be so proud beacause grandmother is in such amazing painter.

thank you so much Rita for stopping by to comment...I appreciate it so much!! Its a good feeling getting back to painting...hugs...
DeleteBianca is charming, Hilda, and you have painted her beautifully! I love the bow in her hair, and the expression on her face is priceless! I'm so glad to hear that you are making great progress with PT. Such good news!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol for your sweet comment. I enjoyed painting that big bow...it matched her silver outfit! I'm feeling so much better...but still have to go to PT 3x a week.
DeleteWhat gorgeous brown eyes Bianca has, Hilda.
ReplyDeleteI love the little fringe of hair at her hairline. My daughter had that when she was young too and sometimes I would wet it to make it lie like you have painted it.
Happy to hear the therapy is still progressing nicely and you are not in that awful pain any more. Life is grand again!
Thank you Julie! She is a sweetheart and she has that fringe which never seems to grow. lol Pain is subsiding every day.. I look forward to the pain going away all together. It's hard to believe that the surgery was Jan.13th.!

ReplyDeleteShe is lovely, Hilda. Gee, I remember you letting me do a watercolor of Bianca several years ago from a photo of her you posted. She had on a floppy hat that sparkled. I was practicing portraits and when I was painting hers I messed up on her beautiful eyes so I painted some sunglasses for her to fix it. LOL What a blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh Carol....I remember!!!! You did such a nice job on her!!! I remember the sunglasses!! Definitely a blast from the past..lol. I hope you're well. I will stop by to visit soon! Thank you for your visit and your comment...

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol....Bianca is so sweet..and so special. I'm glad you liked this portrait!
ReplyDeleteHello Hilda!:) Thank you for making me smile about your sisters pig.:) Pigs are smart creatures,they learn quickly, are clean amimals, and make excellent pets. I'm not sure about the dressing up part, although it must look cute. I collect pigs of the porcelain kind, and we also have them on the farm.
ReplyDeleteYour portrait is a lovely study of your granddaughter. She has such a sweet expression, and beautiful eyes.
Have a lovely weekend Hilda.:)
Hello Again Hilda!:) have just realized that it is your cousin, not your sister who has a pet pig.:))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by!! Yes, my cosines pig is so cute (for a pig!..lol). I'm not sure what happens when they grow but I'm sure she'll still be in the house!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this portrait...hugs
