8.5 x 11 Pastel on Mi Tientes paperThis portrait is "almost" finished—just a few more tweeks. Gabby is my 7-year old granddaughter. She insisted on lipstick and painted nails for the picture, but I was going to paint 'normal' lips anyway. Then I realized that this is really an integral part of Gabby's personality. Every time she comes to my house she wants to put on my lipstick and have her nails painted. She is a such girly girl—and yet she likes to collect critters (roly-polys, worms, snakes!)

Hi Diane. Danielle and Gabrielle must be sisters. You are getting good at the pastels! I finally posted some more to my blog. Are you back from France? How was it? How do you do the links on your blog. I failed last time I tried. Ruthieann.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for your comment. You have a lovely blog and I can see that your pastel work is progressing brilliantly. I love your portrait of Gabby, and you were absolutely right to include her lipstick. Portraiture is as much about capturing a persons personality as likeness and I imagine you have the best of both worlds with this one!
Eric.
Great portrait!, I like your use of colors as well.
Wish you the best for 2007!
