It usually doesn’t take me 7 or 8 days to complete one painting but it looks like this one will need even more time. Seven days now but I’m getting closer.
The painting shows a young African-American child walking through a field of sunflowers and wildflowers while being guided by an older Black angel.
Painting Details: The sky and flowing water meet and roll around her skirt into a field of flowers. There are two small butterflies floating above a sunflowers, one single white daisy. The child has small green leaves as trim for her clothing and is holding a tiny little flower.
I believe the final version will make a slight distinction between the sky and water. I may also add a few tiny details to the adult angel but other than that Watch Over Our Children is nearly completed.
Update:
Ah yes, it sometimes takes awhile but the end result is worth it.
The colors have been changed dramatically as were the flowers but I like this version best.
Thanks for visiting,

This one of a kind hand sewn, hand painted African-American (black) rag doll stands 30 inches tall and wears a green and cream home spun dress with red accents. She has two gold ribbons in her long black hair and a red wool beret. Little black patent leather shoes and white socks adorn her feet. A sweet smile and big brown eyes were hand painted to make this doll one special creation.
Note: Because her skin is hand painted she does not have the cuddly feel of most cloth dolls. For this reason she is listed as ornamental, a shelf sitter or bed doll.

Removable shoes and socks
Three removable hair ribbons
Heat treated to seal the acrylic paint

She started off as a pencil sketch then I added digital coloring. The little sister’s face is familiar to other paintings of mine. She’s also got her little white daisy hanging low as she walks about dust in search of color. Daisy’s sister is half way there.
Details: A young black child, girl, hair ribbons, big brown eyes, soft blue dress, white daisy facing down, sepia background, selective coloring.
