Babysitters

Having children changes your life, usually for the better. Children offer clarity, a sense of purpose, and help to put our sometimes crazy lives into perspective. Beyond that, I have also discovered that babysitters make for beautiful models. Over the years, we have been fortunate to have had some AMAZING sitters. These women have become part of our family. Knowing someone, and having them know you and your habits so intimately, makes a tight connection. I can't help but find these women beautiful, and want to paint them.
