My husband and I became first-time grandparents in January, with the birth of Sam! This was thrilling for us, and we are totally in love with him! Recently our son asked me if I would paint a series of small paintings for Sam's room, to be hung on a special display "wire," which had previously held their unframed black-and-white photos of architecture. (That was when Sam's room was their office, in those by-gone, pre-nursery days.) I was delighted to do this for Sam, and recently completed a series of 12 by 9 inch acrylics on paper, illustrating the numbers 1 through 9. Here you can see the number 2 as well as a shot of several numbers hanging in his room. This was a nice break from my "serious" painting, although I approached the project as if it was a serious illustration job, starting with thumbnails to be approved by the "client" - our son and daughter-in-law, not Sam. He's not quite up to that, yet! But hopefully he will enjoy looking at these pictures soon, and they will help him to learn to count ....
