Harrison and Gabrielle
I just finished this commission of Harrison and Gabrielle. The painting is done in pastel and is 23" x 21". I photographed the kids separately using evening light. The reason I had to shoot the photos separately is because I made the unfortunate mistake of posing the girl by a bumblebee nest in the ground, I was only able to get a few shots of her before she got stung. I felt very lucky to get two shots that worked well together. The background I pretty much made up. I wanted it to be a design element that balanced the strong vertical of the figures. I enjoyed doing this painting and learned an important lesson about checking the proximity of stinging insect nests before the photography shoot.
