Keaton - SOLD


Happy Mother's Day to all you fellow mom's out there! This is a painting I did last week of my nephew, Keaton. When Keaton was two I was watching him one day and he saw some ant bites on my son's legs. He said "what happened?" I said, "oh, he got bit by some ants." He thought for a few minutes and then said "Aunt Carol bites?" I still get a kick out of that. I hope Keaton's mom is having a wonderful day!

Great painting, I love how portraits look in your style...
Just wondering: why are his eyes closed?

Great story! Reminds me of my friend's kid announcing proudly "We've got terrapins!" and after a few moments her little chum said "Well...we've got nappy pins" (Nappy is our UK word for diaper).
Love those flesh tones Carol!

Your faces have the most wonderful bruahwork. All the features have the carved look that is pure Carol:) I am enjoying seeing all the things you paint and so well! Happy Mom's Day to you also.

Really nice. I love the angle of the head and how the colors work together. Just wondering: did you bite him to sleep?
