Very nice, Im a pastel painter myself and have an idea of how hard that would have been to paint. Well done.

principiante
where did you get your inspiration from for this painting?
Jean Hildebrant in reply to principiante’s comment
principiante, I saw this model posing for a class and I asked her if she would pose for me. I thought the mission would make a lovely bg so I painted that behind her. She wasn’t really there :
) She brought the dress and I loved it. I wanted to convey a sunny stroll outdoors and the beauty of the model and all the beautiful colors in her dress and shawl. It just came together. :) JeanAngel W~
so beautiful!!!!
