[Robin Manjone]

Hello. I have been away from portrait commissions for 4 years, due to personal reasons, and of course the first one I get and accept is for a college. In the past I have done two oils and another pastel. This commission I accepted is a pastel of a retiring beloved teacher, nun, to the college.

A little scared to say the least but managing the best I can. I only have a digital photo reference to go by, with the directives to make the hair more whitish gray, and a blue suit (which the nuns wear when they teach, and to include a sister of mercy lapel pin on the lapel of the blue blazer).

Hope I post the images ok here, my first posts so please forgive me. First the digital image I received...
