Next painting was done of my favorite subject, my awesome daughter Kerrigan. She is in three of my sculptures but this is the first in oil. She and Cheryl were just goofing off when they snapped this photo. I loved that it was so close up and had such an uninhibited smile. I'm kind of partial to her smile anyways. This painting has it's critics, but I like it. It's always arguable what style to use. As an artist, I think you just have to go with what appeals to your eyes. If you follow other's you will be pulled in too many other directions. Besides I want to show my vision, not what history says is good. That said, I appreciate the honest criticism. From the critic, a compliment is usually honest.
