Lilah's Preschool Graduation!

today was lilah's last day of preschool! she is feeling emotional about it and so am i! here she is with a few of her good friends alexandra, katie, sofia and her wonderful teacher mrs. thurmond. have a wonderful summer everyone!

Lilah from Life

lilah is only 4 so naturally she doesn't like to sit still. she did pretty well though for about 15 min while i sketched her in my moleskin. after she ran off to play, i finished from memory. i tried a quick one of noah too, but i don't care to show you how that one turned out ;-)
it's difficult to get to my studio these days since i have both my children with me everyday. i have a group of paintings all so close to completion! drawings are easier for me at this time since i can do them at home. still i'm aiming to finally complete a couple of oils this coming week.

i love the warm, days gone by feeling that sepia gives.

patient lilah

lilah was here with me for part of the day while i finished up her portrait and worked on finishing up the three laureates' portraits. she entertained herself drawing mermaids and counting jellybeans!

happy new year 2008!

one of Noah's bionicles, he likes for me to take dynamic shots of them. we'll send a few to lego and hope they'll print them in their magazine.

another year. they are going by so fast! i want to thank all of my portrait customers. you all mean more to me than you'll ever know. it means so much that you want me to paint portraits for you! i've had a difficult past several years, but 2008 is looking bright. much love to all of you!

Baby Lilah aka Cindy Loo Who :-)

this is a drawing i did of my own little girl some time ago. she would often look so serious and be so intent in her observations. these days she's a happy, silly, sprightly thing!

trick or treat

greetings from my lovely children!
