But that must not take anything away for the gorgeous painting of your son in the HALLOWEEN costume. Its so beautiful with lots of colours. Also your previous post was very nice and informative. I will surely check out Mary Whyte's portraits on the web. And I too am a fan of children's books. I have a Marathi translation of "Chuk i Gek" by Arkady Gaidar. It was gifted to me by my mom when I was about 7. I still enjoy reading it and also the lovely B&W illustrations in it.Vinayak Deshmukhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338897572047749402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-41872232045641614082011-10-10T05:34:44.268-07:002011-10-10T05:34:44.268-07:00Hope 'Harry ' had the time of his life :-)...Hope 'Harry ' had the time of his life :-), you certainly made a wonderful painting out of him.<br />With admiration.....Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592451071109351862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-32311837205772304712011-10-09T08:49:15.502-07:002011-10-09T08:49:15.502-07:00I can't believe it was a year ago when I was r...I can't believe it was a year ago when I was reading your last Halloween post!
