"Baby Daisy"
by Kimberly Bustillos on 12/19/2008 1:47:01 AM



Baby Daisy - Oil/Acrylic 9x12 on Hardboard

"Baby Daisy" is my first real effort at oils.  The underpainting, gels, heavy textures and cheese cloth where all done with acrylics.  The topcoat in oils.  I used the Chroma Archival Oils for this one.  And I must say I'm very happy with the results!   Baby Daisy is a portrait of Zeke and Yvette's newest addition!  I visited the couple and their new little one at the hospital when Daisy was two days old to get the reference photo and footprints.  It was a fun painting to do.  I had been playing with the idea of getting foot prints/hand prints on a painting for quite some time.  And since the most photogenic couple I know happened to be expecting, I had no choice but to go for it!  Needless to say there will be quite a few more paintings of this wee one and her family.
