This is a drawing of one of my sister's grandchildren. I enjoy drawing children from photographs because photographs tend to capture great unforgetable moments! Children are so busy-it's fun to draw little fingers and toes and the unique ways they smile, laugh or giggle.

Some paintings seem to dictate whether or not they are finished. Such was the case with this painting. I took it as far as I could months ago, but it didn't seem "quite right". A few weeks ago I added this figure and the snow squall. Finally, it fell into place.
