3 Kids with Ice Cream Cones

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 19, 2013 at 15:44: You must be so proud of your son. How wonderful for you and your wife to have been so fortunate...visiting now, in time to see him before he is deployed! It must be so hard on his family when he leaves. I will look forward to seeing those portraits.
Thank you for sharing.
Nancy

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on September 19, 2013 at 14:57: Nancy, I'll send you photos the portraits, but I really don't want to post them. I am working on a painting of another artist on this site painting outdoors, and I will post that. We did have a good time in Wisconsin, and I'm glad we went then instead of in the Fall, because my son found out while we were there that he's deploying to Afghanistan in early October for 3 months and will miss all the holidays.

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 19, 2013 at 10:45: I hope you post those paintings as well. What fun you must have had!

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on September 11, 2013 at 14:40: Yeah, they sure are Nancy. We just got back from a whole week of that interaction in Wisconsin, and I delivered this painting and painted each boy a baseball card portrait in his little league outfit. Olivia the youngest (4) had me paint her in her Snow White dress. Lots of fun. Thanks for the compliments. Stu

Comment by Nancy Sands on September 11, 2013 at 14:24: Adorable, Stu. I love the interaction between the boys and their sister. Aren't grandkids the best?

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on August 18, 2013 at 23:59: Thanks Ann. I'm going to do some "baseball card" portraits of the two boys this week while I'm here in Wisconsin; they're pretty jazzed about that. I'll have to figure out something for the little girl. Right now she says she just wants to be a "mom" when she grows up; she's got some pretty interesting poses. I'll be taking a lot of photos. I brought a bunch of canvas panels along. Stu

Comment by Ann Turner on August 18, 2013 at 15:44: Love the looks ! The figures are great also the shadow patterns and glass reflections !

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on August 18, 2013 at 10:01: Darya, thanks for the tip; we'll pick up some mosquito spray for sure and wear long sleeves and pants. I'll keep a lookout for the great ice cream too. My daughter-in-law and the three kids love the painting; my son is not home yet. Stu

Comment by Darya Vassina on August 18, 2013 at 4:12: Stu, the American Players' Theatre is very good, you'll enjoy it (for as long as you've got enough mosquito spray). Have a wonderful time!
