It is pretty obvious that this picture takes place about two or three years into the future. For one thing, as of now, Jack is merely the size of a sea monkey. Another dead give away is the scarf hat and gloves that his mother knitted for him...(in the present, his mother hasn't even learned to knit yet!)

This is a painting of my nieces who always look as though they are ready to get their picture taken. Talia, the older sister, may be a little more of the worrier. Alyssa on the other hand is fearless. After all, what is there to worry about when you are holding your big sister's hand.
