Baby Tess

When we lived in Albuquerque awhile back, we got involved with our church there and met a bunch of young couples (most of us at the time did NOT have any children!). One of the couples we became friends with were Adrian and Trisha. Well......just a few short years later and now we ALL have children, multiple children!! They just welcomed their third precious child into the world last month, and I just had to paint something for sweet baby Tess! This baby is such a blessing, and is destined for true greatness! I even got to spend a weekend with their family during the first few weeks of her life helping and celebrating her arrival! So for our sweet friends - hope you love the painting!

Her bedding is Glenna Jean - the quality of this bedding is awesome. It's nice and thick, and the patterns are lots of fun. I was suprised Trisha picked out anything with pink - she's a purple and orange kinda gal. But, I just love this. This is the picture from a baby bedding website.

I brought the bedskirt back with me to match the colors just right. There are so many different shades of green and pink, I didn't want to be off! Trisha requested dots and more dots! So, here's my take on that.

I decided to do layers of dots because in the bumper, the sections are all different. Some are solid pink or green with dots, solid black with dots, or a variety.

A little dot border for the second frame

Here's the painting up against the bedskirt. The colors were right on! I really liked the whimsical font for her name - I thought it went well with all of those DOTS!
