Jayden - portrait of my grandson

Jayden
8 x 10
Oil on Raymar Panel
NFS

This is my grandson Jayden.  He is sitting in his easy chair reading a book and has his helicopter blanket next to him...lovingly called "copka."  I wanted to paint this for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was to practice figures.  I love the perspective on the head and the angels of the legs.  

I realized that I have been painting and had not kept one painting of Jayden for myself!!! So this one is mine!  I am sure I will be painting more portraits of Jayden among other relatives... but I wanted to make sure I have one of my grandchild hung in my home.

  5. Once in awhile we just 'can't' give away or sell a special one.
    I love how he is so very interested in the book ...
