Fifty Two Small Portraits by Megan Winchell Peter
From the monthly archives:
Ah…to be two years old again! I love the look of pure joy on a toddler’s face at play. The portrait for Face #12 was rendered from a photograph of this happy little man playing with his trains. This portrait captures a momentary break from playing with the train-set to flash an adorable smile towards mom.

I love the playful expression and gesture of the little boy in Face #11. There is nothing better than when your baby gets to an age where he or she can really play with you! Face #11 captures a moment of play where this sweet toddler waits in anticipation for Mom or Dad to throw his ball back to him.

There is something very tender about the preteen stage of life. Face #10 is of a young man who is around 9 or 10 years of age. His expression is so endearing in the way that it is both a bit timid and mischievous. Working on this portrait brought me back to the years I spent teaching middle school. It made my heart ache a little bit thinking about those times, as I really do miss those children. I know that I will be there soon enough with my own daughter, as time passes so quickly.

This baby face is irresistible! Face #9 shows the intent concentration on an infant’s face during play. This portrait is based on a lovely photograph where sunshine floods through a window, illuminating this sweet face. Such a great moment!
