One more attempt at painting my 2 year old. I took a picture the other night while putting her to bed.  She loves her room staring at the rocket ship at the wall, painted stars, art by few DA artists I purchased while back, and some got as present and twinkling star fairy lights above her. Every night we cuddle and go through the routine, we read "Its a Tiger" by David LaRochelle and scream through house A TIGGGGEEEEEERRRRR!!! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we sing, about two dozen songs then she turns around cuddles rocket ship pillow while resting her head on bedding with embroidered stars kisses me and falls asleep.  I cherish these moments.  I enjoy putting my babies to bed, first Laila the 6 month old, then Stella the two year old terrornaught, and finally Illyana 10 year old angel :iconillyanabaraci:.

I painted to this listening to Chopin's Nocturnes www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idimyy…; I love listening to his work, has deep profound sadness that I feel inside, its like listening to a best friend talk to you, who understands what goes on inside your heart and soul.  It also feeds my OCD.  I spent days getting the lines of the shirt right, and listening to Chopin lets me concentrate, keeps me in focus on one thing - painting.  I can then ignore most of the voices inside of my head.

I sent photo of this painting last night to my mum, she wants it, I am not going to give it to her this is Stella's I made it for her, so she can cherish it when she grows up.  I enjoy watching her grow, talk and argue, even when she is naughty I see strong spark in her that brightens my world.  She is my star. I love her dearly.  I love her dreaming.   She is incredibly smart little chatterbox.

Anyhow took me about week and a bit.  If you would like me to make you portrait I do them dirt cheap so send me a note.

You obviously know your child very well from what I can tell about this painting; so bountiful, abundant with soul-fire, also very crisp and freshly deep. I love gingers so I hope that the red hair stays the same along with the pale skin {maybe freckles will appear someday}, well who knows right, that could be something to look forward to. The extremely blue eyes are pretty. I know that your child will be a handsome young man someday but of course no rushing...the ladies will love him but his mommy the most of all who loves him {and} cherishes him for eternity. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous painting of your adorable son. It will probably be cherished for years and years to come and he should definitely see his baby pictures when he is older and finished with high school.
