This involved a lot of thought. Then I had a great idea, my baby is turning eighteen next Wednesday. The years have gone by so quickly; to me, one moment she was a sweet little baby and now she is a mature, intellegent young lady. So therefore ‘POOF’ has gone the time. I really wish that the time had not passed so quickly.

I know how you feel! My son will be 30 next month, but I still have my 13 year old to hold onto for a while longer! What a lovely image you’ve created. I’m sure she appreciates you and your talent!

She is beautiful — as a baby and as a grown up girl. Is she a dancer? I know I’m going to be terribly sad when my girls leave me, so I’m trying to treasure every moment.
Fabulous portrait, painting her is a great way of keeping these times.
You color combination is stunning. I love the feel of lightness you captured in that teal skirt, superb! Nice touch the squares in the background, it ties the whole image together…
Have a great week !
You have really captured a sense of love and tenderness with this portrait.
Reading your older post makes me think about my own mom and the sense of sadness and loss that I may experience when my own children leave me.
Your work is lovely.
Thanks for sharing!
This is such a beautiful and sensitive portrait. I just love your take on “poof”.
BEAUTIFUL colors, composition, and subject matter.
I always enjoy seeing what you come up with.

she looks so graceful and the soft skirt is so lovely
Wonderful… your illustration captured the sentiment beautifully. They’re growing up too fast!
What a sweet tribute to your daughter!
Sandra, you have captured this yearning so well. Where have the years gone?
Beautiful. Would I be right in guessing that is a dress for the formal?I bet you went over lots of fond memories while you completed this lovely piece.
Oh how I know what you mean! My baby turned one a few weeks ago, and already I am thinking that the time is passing so quickly! Love your drawing!
This is so beautiful!! I still think of her as the 5 year old she was when Adam and I started dating - she has grown up so quickly, but then I find it hard to beleive we have a 5 year old of our own now!!
