Pastel Child Portrait titled “Spirited”
I am very excited to add the image of this beautiful child, titled Spirited, to my online portfolio collection. This particular study is created in pastel which, I feel, works well with the overall composition. This was the last commission portrait of the year created for the Christmas holiday.
The story behind this young girl’s struggle very early in her life has greatly inspired the process of this piece, as did the influence and devotion of her mother, Nicole…
