I'm dreading those years of sending my sons off to school - the changes it will bring into our lives - the changes it will create in them. I love that you've chosen to spend some time on the fleeting moments of love and childhood that last for only a second before they're gone and then they become like a quiet whisper in your ear - sweet, delicate, special, memorable, and just for you. <br /><br />And you're right, like I said before, there really is something very special in this portrait - it seems you've captured his personality in paint, and even though I obviously don't know him, this painting makes it almost feel as if I do. It's very impressive. <br /><br />I hope you find your extra time to be every bit as precious as you hoped it'd be. And just so you know, I'll be expecting that cupcake you promised soon... ;0) Lol!Melissa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507649499725776209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-58968169465548770242013-10-09T15:05:40.541-07:002013-10-09T15:05:40.541-07:00Oh my goodness, I don't even have the time to ...Oh my goodness, I don't even have the time to read your post yet, which I will most certainly be returning to later, but I just had to congratulate you on this piece - it's so wonderfully beautiful - the light is so expressive and the colors so pure - it's très magnifique my friend! Can't wait to come back later after I get some time in on my own works so I can read up on all the posts I've missed of yours recently.

It looks like he is pondering much more than the paper in front of him - very profound look!!! <br />It is great to have you posting, but I agree, you really need to get things back in perspective. I think some of what you are feeling right now came out in the portrait's expression.<br />Love to you and your family!<br />Kathryn XXStudio at the Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900305750995808779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-14786054327570674122013-09-26T17:25:41.267-07:002013-09-26T17:25:41.267-07:00Really, really beautiful Crystal.

I can't tell you how much I love this painting - it really is particularly special. The person who commissioned it must be overwhelmed by it! You really are in your own league - There is nobody who paints portraits like you :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-79286223679399658422013-09-25T21:42:20.849-07:002013-09-25T21:42:20.849-07:00Bonjour ma chère amie,
Je suis heureuse de découv...Bonjour ma chère amie,<br /><br />Je suis heureuse de découvrir cette dernière peinture. Un portrait vraiment très beau et serein.<br /><br />Je comprends tout à fait ce que vous écrivez et ressentez concernant vos enfants... Il est difficile de se détacher d'eux et pourtant pour leur bien-être c'est nécessaire.<br />Ils seront toujours dans votre coeur et dans le leur.<br />Les miens sont grands à présent et je souffre toujours de leur absence. <br />Je sais toutefois que si je ne reçois pas d'appel téléphonique c'est que tout va bien, mais c'est tout de même difficile.<br />Ils ont pris leur envol... La vie s'écoule trop vite. Profitez des doux moments de partage que vous pouvez encore avoir avec eux. Ils sont précieux.<br /><br />Parfois moi aussi, je me dis que de publier un nouveau billet chaque semaine me prend beaucoup de temps. J'aime aussi découvrir les publications des amis blogueurs et cela aussi prend un certain temps !<br />Peut-être que tous les 15 jours serait mieux... <br /><br />En attendant de vous revoir ma chère, je vous embrasse amicalement.martinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.com
