Thank you everyone for your kind words. I did have a reference photo to use. I used this commission as a demonstration for one of my colored pencil workshops. It took me 14 hours to complete. I hope that the photos of this painting show the softness better than this scan does. The grandmother commissioned it for her daughter. Her other daughter had doubts that it would make it to Jake's house. At last word it was hanging on the grandmother's wall!
Happy Painting!
