Lucas

This is Lucas..... almost 4 years old and already has such an amazing personality!  I recently had an exhibit in Lynbrook Library and he was with his Grandma.   He looked like a little man admiring all the paintings on the wall.  With Grandma's permission, I took his photo.  Lately I enjoy painting children.   They have such an innocence about them that I love to capture in a  painting.

    Great portrait with true expression of Lucas! You have the gift of portraying people in the soul.
    Lucas is four years old, the same age as my granddaughter Beatrice.
    What a wonderful age, the personality of children shines thoughts and words that come from their hearts and their minds, leaving us adults surprised ... so much depth in a life of a few years.

    I've been right through the comments, Hilda, and can't find one from me!! I can remember writing one to say how much I loved this darling painting. I think that (in my old age) I keep hitting the Sign Out button and not the Publish one

    Awe, I've been away from viewing posts...see I have missed two of your beautiful pastels. I found a great set of pastels on the clearance rack and purchased them while thinking of you. Haven't tried them yet...wish you were near. I would like to hear your process sometime. Paper you prefer, tinted? how you begin, etc...free lessons on line :0)

    Hilda, love the "look" you captured! You do so well with painting children and keeping their child-like features.

    Ciao Hilda,
    i ritratti devono "catturare" , almeno un po', l'anima e quelli dei bambini sono sicuramente più difficili... ma quando ci si riesce emerge sempre qualcosa di commovente...come nei tuoi ritratti di bimbi.
    Devo dire anche che il quadro dei cani mi è piaciuto moltissimo!!!
    Ciao, a presto, Floriana
