I’d love to paint some commissions of children set against backgrounds that have special meaning to that family. As an example, this painting is of my grandson Elijah holding a sparkler under a starry night.
I chose the background because it captures the time when Elijah had just learned to do the hand movements to ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.
I was thrilled that when his mum showed him the finished painting, he at once started to do the hand movements. That’s when you know you got it right!

This looks fantastic! You’ve captured his likeness so well and, it’s true, he does love doing the twinkle star hands! The starry background is perfect. What a great way to remember this cute toddler time.
Thank you and yes this painting will forever capture that special time and memory for us all.
