Grampster, I have to agree. And so did almost everybody else at the mall yesterday. People stop in their tracks when they see her and jaws just drop. Thing is, she is 16 months old, but she only weighs about 16 lbs. She is also VERY mobile, running all over the place, getting away from grandpa. And, she has a big grin for anybody who pays attention to her.
Steve, great idea on the portrait. Unfortunately, the best portrait artist I know happens to be ME. And I haven't picked up pencil or charcoal for many years. I used to do portraits back in the 70's of our kids and our friend's kids. Then this one little girl stymied me, she was half Chinese and had these beautiful, mysterious eyes. I COULD NOT capture them, no matter what I tried.
I haven't tried since, but since I am more stubborn in my old age, maybe I ought to try again. The skills after all, are between the ears, not in the hands.
Sadie's eyes would be a challenge, that's for sure. Maybe Standing Wolf could give me some tips.
Thanks for all your nice comments, everybody.
