A wonderful lovely young lady with distinctive features, eyelashes and hair. I can't resist trying to paint her.

Modeling the forms and features is the really fun part of this painting. And working with the pert little nose and the lush hair - yummy.

Thanks to Emery for once again being my model.

The nearly idealistic scene of a mother gathering her children around her to teach them the gospel, share scriptures and instill a testimony is timeless.

Rebecca and the children are the models.

The idea was great and I still like it, however the execution is not so inspired.

So I post this to share the idea and the models faithful obedience.

Quinn joins in even though she cannot yet read.
