I had a moment of panic with this painting - an odd sensation I've had more than once where all of a sudden I think, "I can't paint! I've forgotten how! Help!" I wiped off the initial drawing about half a dozen times because it wasn't right. So I guess I went through *two* panics on this one, the first one being, "I can't draw!!" Fortunately I ended up with something resembling Baby Girl. Actually all things considered, it's a remarkably good likeness!
This is 6 x 4 oil on Raymar canvas panel. She certainly does have Jubie's eyes - something that has been apparent from day one!
Part of my problem today was probably the fact that I have a series of shows coming up, the first of which is this weekend, so I'm somewhat madly preparing for those. I have one painting in particular that I'd like to have at least done enough to show this weekend. I believe I've shown it in progress on this blog, at least in the underpainting stage. I'll give you a unique glimpse of it, but that's it for now! (Extra points if you can figure out how I got the shot!)

Baby Girl is beautiful and how could you doubt your talents? Take it from someone who really can't draw! LOL.
Did you take the other picture in the middle of an earthquake? Ha Ha.
I get those panics all the time lol fortunately they pass and I just get in with it....just as you've done. A wee darling.
