My best friend asked me to a paint a picture for her baby's room. It took me a while to get started - I had to choose a subject that matched what she wanted but that was still "me." When I thought I had a good idea, I worked on sketches and took photographs of a reference point. It was slow going, but I reserved a day to start the painting that I thought would give me enough time to complete it before the baby arrived. The day that I had slated to finally begin the painting - the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend - my friend went into labor. So a month later, I'm finally finished and I'm coming home this weekend to present it. Hope they like it!
