This posthumous portrait is sadly created from a single poor source photo, I think a school picture that was copied, then recopied for the funeral. There were several colorizations of this single photo, so I took the most realistic of them all. It is approximately 20" x 18", (I don't have the exact measurements in front of me right now) and is on the light grey Mi-Tientes paper, smooth side.
Shortly after this picture was taken, she and a friend were in a car that was hit by a train. Both were killed. The client has commissioned this as a surprise for the girl's mother this Christmas.
I have yet to complete the shirt and necklace, oh, how I hate chains.
Here is the reference photo.
