Commissioned via a Facebook friend: Soft pastel painting done from a black and white photo emailed by the client to me (artist) with descriptions of skin, hair, and eye color, and backup photos. The client presented the shipped painting to his daughter and her husband as a gift for Christmas. They were moved to tears and so happily surprised, reportedly. I am fairly new at this, but so gratified by the love shared!...
The original image was shot by Lily with a cellphone a couple of years ago while staying at a friend's cabin in Castroville, TX. I was so charmed by the soft light filtering through the window and the pattern cast by the holes in the old colander there. Tiny blessings like this are what keep me interested in painting....
