(I found a GORGEOUS custom frame at Hobby Lobby that is the exact size of the paper - 19" x 27" - marked down 75% off. I took that as a sign that I needed to finish this portrait!)

Pastel Portrait of a Little Girl in the Garden - a WIP
I'm really excited about the progress I am making on my daughter's portrait in Nupastel. I'm getting into the details, such as the flowers on her dress and the wisps of hair that frame her face. One thing I do have to resolve is what she's holding in her had - in the photo she was holding a barbie, but all you could see was a bit of dress and one arm sticking out - kind of awkward looking, so I need to insert a new toy!
This is really beautiful! Maybe if she is in the garden she could be holding a flower?
ReplyDeleteor maybe a simple daisy? What ever you pick will be wonderful I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOOH I like the idea of her holding a flower! Thanks for the suggestion :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. I saw your work at Restoration Hardware today...no signature allowed?
