“Duchess” 11×14 Soft Pastel
For the past month, I have been consumed with commissions…a nice summer surprise. You use a different kind of creativity when you try to mirror a likeness, transforming a simple photo into a work of art. After all the portraits I have done, I still get nervous each time I begin a new one.
