Vintage Glamour

A portrait of my daughter, Jessica, painted in Pastel. We dressed her in a gown that had been my Mother’s and tried to replicate the era with her hairstyle, makeup and jewelry. This was painted with soft pastels on Canson paper which was a brown color. Hard pastel and pastel pencils were used sparingly where fine lines and details werre needed. 24”x18”

    Jean
    I love this time period and you have translated it wonderfully!
    The expression on her face and looking off the painting creates so many
    good questions like, what could she be thinking? Where has she been, and
    who is she looking toward, or what?
    Such a beautiful young lady and the composition is outstanding.
    Great work.

    You are so kind and generous Jean. I wanted to tell you that this has got to be my favourite and most inspirational work of yours. We have such a connection with our children and that is one of the things that really makes me appreciate you. I have a photo of my daughter Jaymi that I pray will be as stunning and beautiful as this when I paint it for her. She took the photo herself on my phone of all things and it blew me away so much that I have got to paint it. Hugs

  • Jean Hildebrant

    Jean Hildebrant

    Oh, you are always so sweet and you really have the gift of edification, Tahnja :-)
    I can’t wait to see your portrait! I know the love you have for her will shine thru and it will be stunning!!! Hugs back to you!
