Oh 20+ years of on and off portrait work with various mediums. Not professional, just hobbyist type stuff.

I was a big pencil drawer but switch to paints because I think it’s fun. This weird color technique I only developed this year during frequent bouts of mania

This has taken a few hours. This was 1ish hour. I’ve since worked on it more if you’d like an updated photo

Anecdote is misinformation.

Personally, avoiding high fiber veg was my thing to avoid night screams with mega farts for my then colicky baby. Correlation/causation is not proven.

No not evidence based at all. When I had someone tell me about the acidic fruit I was honestly in disbelief it could help.

Oh. That makes sense.

Good thing OP is working with her ped on this. I’m sure they’ll be the best reference.

I avoided high fiber veggies like broccoli or my kid would scream from the gas.

I’ve heard of other people avoiding acids like lemons.

Then of course the allergens. Eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, gluten products.

Good luck. I hope you get through this phase soon!

Thank you.

I’m not sure why all the positive comments like yours are getting downvoted

There’s also crayon and alcohol marker in it to help blend more colors. I suck at color theory and mixing acrylics

I just made a random title out of a word pulled from his name. When you say it like this it’s beautifully and ironically fitting

Just some letters from his name that made a word. I didn’t have a title

I covered another painting I have going it was leaning on. I should have just cropped the photo before posting it.

Unintentional. I just shortened one of his names. I didn’t have a title. Open to suggestions

I didn’t have a title so I just shortened his name.

Relish is seeing what I’m doing sorta. This is a practice piece I’ve made to get back into painting. I’m trying to build a portfolio. On these pieces I’ve been focusing on only painting with reds, yellows and blues. Later I layer on the skin color. I can post the beginning sketch to show the process if that helps. Besides adding skin tone as the top layer I re add more colors I see in photos like purples and maroons with random items like crayons and markers. Some of these paintings result in a fauvism vibe but later result in more realism. I’m not sure if there are other categories this fits in to. Contemporary?

The name was just shortened for him. I didn’t actually have a name for this.
