I sold Chief Wannabee #1, so I thought I would paint him again, since he is such a cutie! You can see the photo reference in the first shot, left, below the painting.
Sometimes when I start a painting, I can tell it is going to be "tough"- meaning it is not flowing correctly right at the beginning (or how I'd like it to flow), and then there are times like this when it all starts flowing so smoothly, I am actually wondering who in the world is holding my brush! It was going so well that I did not stop to hunt for my camera to take a shot or two of my beginning sketch. I finally had to stop myself and get that camera, as I had a feeling it was going to be a "Happy Painting!" Oils on a 6" x 6" x 1.5" wrapped canvas.
I allowed it to dry some today (yeah, it was hard not to go in and work on it some more), but I don't want to make mud of my colors. A tweak here and there, and I should be finished tomorrow.
I hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed painting this little boy.

kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."Matthew 19:14.
