A Portrait of my Granddaughter

A portrait of a beautiful little girl and her two favourite stuffies.

Mr. G came into her life shortly after her birth, Mrs. G a few years later when Mr. G started feeling the effects of lots of love and attention.

Both were gifts from a very special uncle. They are the world’s two most loved stuffed animals, each with their own special scent and personality.

Last April, my granddaughter asked me if I would paint a portrait of her holding Mr. G and Mrs. G.

When my 16 month old grandson looked up at my painting and said,’Arya, Arya’, I knew I was on the right track

I chose a canvas, a couple of paint brushes, and my favourite paints.

As I lifted my paintbrush, I began to pray, and as I prayed, this beautiful face appeared on the canvas.

A special gift for a special girl!

Seeing the joy on her face when she unwrapped my canvas will forever be one of my most favourite memories.

  1. I’m absolutely GA GA over the idea of Aria’s portrait and her besties. Beautiful

    My grandkids each have their favourite cannot sleep without, small stuffies with 2, and 3 spares. I have seen their snouts, embroidered their mouths, replaced their tales and refilled their innards and each time it was an emotional experience taking me through the years.
    I am going to small tattoo each one on my inner arm. ♥️♥️♥️
