As I didn't make myself a pumpkin pie this holiday, and was feeling deprived, I had determined that, whatever the topic, I would take a bit of time out today to do an Illustration Friday sketch. The topic is "balloon," which really didn't inspire me too much. But I MUST have my dessert, so I did take enough time to do a small 20 minute oil sketch of my grand-daughter when she was just learning to walk on her own. Not great art, but a low calorie treat for myself, at any rate!

wouldn't it be nice if we could tie about 20 balloons to them to keep them from falling?

It is just beautiful! and so sweet.
Wow! 20 minutes? This looks great.
:)
I love the way it captures that look they have of getting ready to fall, trying to keep the balancing act together with the forward momentum
Beautiful. =)
Yes, I like the 'search for balance' look, too. Shortly after the photo was taken that I based this painting on, my grand-daughter had a fall - not even a hard one- and her leg broke. The doctors discovered a benign tumor in her bone. She later had surgery to remove it, but it seems to grow back. But not even two stretches in a leg cast has slowed her down! Oh, for the resilience of children!
How very lovely. My little granddaughters love balloons as well and I can remember when they use to totter like them. I just read your comment, I am very glad that she is Ok.
nice memory and a nice way to show it
Very wonderful, sweet and beautiful painting. Baby's do love their balloons.
Beautiful!
