I love to do paintings from old photographs. My mom was about 3 or 4 when she sat for the photograph. When I found the picture, it was badly faded. Being able to recreate it in pastel brought it to life again. I like the way only one sleeve is poofy, her thick tights and laced up boots and her sedate smile. Whenever I look at it, I feel my mom is here.
