Up, Up and Away

I love the way children delight in simple things, like balloons that aren't even helium filled.  I'd like to recapture that feeling more often myself.  This is my newest painting for my shop.  There are 3 more underway.  All are based on photos of my own kids when they were little.  It's odd, but I find that poor photos translate into more interesting paintings than good ones.  I'm glad I hung onto all of them.
