Dance Recital

I took the reference picture of Lexi right before her recital a few months back.  (So many pictures of the grandkids!)   I told  her not to smile, once again!!  She's getting used to me already..and knows when I take a picture...you're not allowed to smile.  LOL
I used my Unison pastels for the bows and trim on the dress.  Unison pastels are very soft and the colors are so intense.  I went to Blick's this week and as you all know, going there is like going to a candy store..!!!  I hope you like this portrait....  I enjoyed painting her.

    A very sensitive and engaging portrait Hilda!

    You certainly captured and frozen a moment... in a colourful and beautifully designed and executed pastel!

    Good Painting!

    What a treat this morning! This is a lovely painting Hilda. One of my all time favorites. A geat pose and such a sweet, innocent look. I like the sunny colors also! No need for her to smile, I'm doing that just watching her. Hugs :)
