	Comments This painting is one of my favorites from the book. Not because I like how it turned out, though I do, but because it is a painting of my friend's mom and the fun I had painting it. I knew immediately on thumbnailing the manuscript, that I wanted to use Mrs. Tanner as the Antique Lady. In the sketch for this painting you can even tell it's supposed to be her. I ended up using the REAL antique lady as the "grandmother" for the book! previous pictures next detail
