I've been experimenting with portraits - I don't want to do realistic ones but rather more impressionistic which for me is a lot of fun.  I start with a photo of someone I know and then take it to a different level!!!

pastel class group portrait

this is a portrait of one our classmates for her 80th birthday present.  Our instructor gave each of us a small square containing part of her photo and we were to dupicate as best we could and then Linda put them all together.  The painting came out fantastic and was so much fun to do.  Gigi (the recepient) just loved it.
