  1. What strength of character is shown in the face and torso. The baby is fat, well nourished and securely held. What a strong body and those eyes do not evade, they fix you straight on. This is a portrait of confidence holding the future. Both are in stark contrast against a dearth background. It portrays hope..
  2. This is excellent painting, great flesh tones and sculpting, I like the background too, very much.
