The Smirk!
8x8, soft pastel
Painting 24 of the 30in30 Challenge is Brian...with what is best described as a half smile...better yet...a smirk. You know how it is...(if you are a grandparent that is). You've taken 100s of pictures of the grandkids...perhaps even in one single day, trying to capture and encapsulate the overwhelming love you have for them in a spectacularly frozen moment.
Then, you see IT...a golden opportunity! The perfect shot! Your tremendously awesome and beautiful grandchild is concentrating on something else...gazing off into the distance...unaware of the scene before you. So, you "sneak up" on him (or her) and attempt to capture that perfect candid moment. That moment when the light is just SO right...streaming down onto his innocent face. The colors in the room are alive with vibrancy. BUT, just as you are about to "snap" the photo...he senses what you're up to and looks up...quickly changing from his heavenly far off gaze into.......THE SMIRK! Eeeeeegadddds!
Beautifully done Cindy!
