A Couple of Commissions

Christina
2.5x3.5 inches
Coloured pencil on drafting film

Cheyanne
4x6 inches
Graphite pencil on drafting film
This little portrait of Cheyanne having a big yawn was done a few weeks ago, but I needed to wait until the parents had given approval before posting it. The portrait of Christina is a 21st birthday present for my son's girlfriend's sister, that I wanted to complete before going on holidays. Now the pencils are going away for a couple of weeks :))

    Cheyenne is one gorgeous baby! And Christina's sister (if my memory of what I read a second ago serves...probably not...LOL) is a stunner! What a great birthday present! Hope you have a most wonderful vacation, Karen.

    Look at all the eye candy you've produced since I last checked you blog! Amazing, and you are able to work so quickly too...I just love the softness in your work - especially your portraits.

    Thank you Deb - I know we all have different styles and techniques and I always appreciate the strong colours and details in your works. It would be pretty boring if we were all the same!!! :)
