'This is the Life'...family, holidays, sunshine, time that stretches....

that was a 'dad-ism' I heard frequently growing up.

...yep, his optimism  was a bit like the character in the movie 'The Castle!'

That phrase still gives me the 'warm and fuzzies' ...

it's a feeling that is embedded in this painting...

 it went thru a few permutations.....it was a request from Manyung Gallery

for a painting with '3 boys and a girl' for one of their clients.


a beginning....06 may


a little colour....19 May


24 May....the dress has gone.....



...30 Aug...and I'm not too keen on this little fellow's head.... but how to fix it?

...so the blue hat is off and he gets a makeover....  05 September...
