I was really a bit to anxious to paint this piece, that my impatience almost ruined the piece. I got lost in the lines and the drawing and whenever the drawing goes wrong in any painting of this nature....the doom is quite near! But thank God, I rescued it in the end by cooling down and focusing on what actually went wrong. I was so wrapped up in...
The Flying Moleskins-Kezia-the Spark and wonder!

So I decided to draw my little girl, Kezia, who is a spark and wonder!

This is another sketch of Kezia in sleep mode, she changed gears thrice and instead of getting frustrated about the constant change, I started a new sketch and enjoyed the movement!

This is number 11 in my current series of sketches to record the life and growth during sleep of my baby daughter, Kezia. This afternoon she drifted in her buggy in the sun and cool breeze.

I had a lot of problems with the distortion and foreshortening corrections that need to be made when working from photos and it seems the front hand suffered in the end. But overall I enjoyed the process and that is the gaze she gives me when she is strapped down in her bouncer and daddy is trying to paint!
