This is " Holly ".

She was a commission piece for a client's niece. She was drawn in pastels on velour paper. Finished portrait size is 10" x 12". It was completed in May 2007.

Unfortunately, Holly is no longer with us, but the photograph that my client chose apparently captured her true personality, so that is why I was asked to draw the portrait the same as the photo, sticks on tongue, snow and everything!!
