Closeup



I enjoyed doing this portrait with all the blues. I hope I captured her sweetness and beautiful features. This is a larger portrait and it took awhile to do. It has many layers and glazes. There were no hydrangeas in the reference photos and I added them from gardens and kept flowers in my studio to go by. I will get to paint her two younger sisters who are just as lovely.
