"Haley" Pastel by Charlotte Yealey

9x10 Pastel

I gave my granddaughter a camera for her birthday. She took a ton of photos of herself. I painted one in
pastel. Still needs work!

This is fun! Looks like she used a flash and you captured it as well.

Yes Maria, I created the washed out look from the flash the way her picture looked. I liked the effect so I did not change it but I have some work to do on the side of her head.

Thanks Kathy. When I saw her photos, they all made me smile. She is not only a very talented artist but a creative photographer as well.
