Bailey Comfort 3 This is a painting of my good friend Heathers beautiful daughter. I wanted to paint it because I related to Bailey. I was a thumb sucker! It was the hardest habit I ever broke! I think I was in third grade when I finally kicked the habit. My mother painted nasty tasting stuff on my thumb for a while that I just licked of . Thats how much I wanted to suck my thumb and have all the feelings of relaxation that went with it!
It was hypnotic and after I stopped sucking my thumb (really out of fear that one of my friends would catch me) I've never drifted off to sleep in the same way.
