Andrew by Maisa Said

 Once in and a while I have a baby on my table the utterly scares me. 

Scares me because it is so real and yet I fear my paint won't do it justice. I feel so inspired and motivated to want to try but tucked in that package is an overwhelming sense of failure. 

This little boy was my moment.

Not only because of how adorable he was but because he was poured in the softest silicone I've ever worked with.  Every brush stroke had to be slowed down because he would move under my brush. And then when I was finished with a spot I had to make sure it wouldn't move when I put it down.

Creating him created a constant anxiety within me.

An anxiety I fed my inspiration with and in the end, I made a most perfect baby.

His colors blended beautifully and his matting is the softest ever. I just stare at this baby with accomplishment and wonder. 

I am very proud to present to you,

Andrew
