This painting is #24 in the 30-in-30 challenge and it is 6x8". It is based on a photo of me as a little girl - there were four of us children sitting on a porch eating cookies, and the expression on my face was so blissful, I wanted to try to capture it in paint. I became very absorbed in painting the face, and spent a lot of time and effort on that. Unfortunately, by the time I finished the face and hands, I had very little energy or patience left for the rest of it and I kind of rushed through to the end. So I find myself happy with the face but not so happy with the rest of it. Here's a close-up of the face:
Wonderful painting again! Do you have the cookie recipe by chance?
