My very first prenatal painting

Anyone that knows me, will be aware that I also dabble in face painting, it is a passion that has grown since having my two youngest children. This week I was able to paint my very first pregnant belly. It is the most amazing thing I have ever done. A good friend of mine is currently 28 weeks pregnant and agreed to be a model for me. And what a beautiful model she is. As it was my first I searched and searched the internet for ideas and had a head full of inspiration. On the day I felt excited yet nervous, mum to be had no expectations and gave me free reign of what to paint. I opted for something quite simple, as a first attempt I didn't want to knock my confidence.

There were a few errors and plenty of room for improvement, but my lovely model has agreed to let me practice again. Next time will be butterflies :) I am very very excited!
