THE YOUNG ARTIST

Another pleasant picture to paint. Plenty of detail and objects in perhaps a children’s school room. To me it is a quiet picture – the girl sitting, playing with her doll – the young boy concentrating in an effort to master his subject both so young – coming across in great patience making the picture so quiet and peaceful.
