Stolen Smile
8x8, soft pastel
Happy New Year! This is my first painting for the 30in30 Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta. If you're curious about the Challenge, check out Leslie's blog at: http://www.lesliesaeta.blogspot.com. I believe there are close to 900 artists participating. It's a great feeling to know there are other artists out there doing the same thing...it should be fun!
I hope to complete 30 paintings in 30 days...however, I must admit if a painting needs more time than what I can do in a day...then I'll take the time to complete it over an additional day or two. I'll share work-in-progress images for those days (should they occur).
My theme "Family Matters" starts off with a painting I call "Stolen Smile". This is from an image of my grandson Brian who is now over a foot taller than me! On this particular day Brian just couldn't resist eating the raisins that were intended for Frosty's smile. From the looks of it...I think he may have eaten half of an Oreo eye as well!
