Jessie

A portrait of my youngest (by 10 minutes) daughter Jessica done in ACEO size.  I was inspired by some neat shadows on her face as she sat in front of a large window last weekend.  Because of it's very small size, I tried painting entirely with a #2 round brush which I had only very recently used on another piece.  I've only used flats in the past, and this seemed to work fine.

    Beautifully rendered, Vern. Excellent job on this and all the paintings from your trip to Italy. Gorgeous color and detail everywhere I looked.
