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.

Tahnja
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
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!

This is stunning work Jean! – I have seen it in another area of RedBubble (maybe in one of the Portraiture groups) and I was so pleased to see it in the Top 10 of the ‘True Colours’ challenge. It is a wonderful painting, and I know I have commented on it before, but I wanted to tell you again how much I love this stunning piece of your work and, in fact, I deeply admire ALL your work!
Jean Hildebrant replied
Lynda, you do such beautiful work and you painting that won the true colors challenge was a well deserved winner!!! I love the colors in it, really gorgeous work! :)
