Hudson, A New Portrait in Pastels

Hello! I must have forgotten to put this latest edition up here! It must be an age thing!
Anyway, I was asked to do a portrait for my sister-in-law of her grandson, Hudson. I couldn’t wait to get right to it as he was such a beautiful little boy. Just look at that perfect face! I must admit though, when I saw the striped hoodie, I was afraid to even attempt it, as I thought it would not look right. But I got in there and said to myself that it was another challenge, and If I didn’t try this, I wouldn’t try anything new. And you know what, it didn’t even hurt! It actually adds to the painting.
So all in all, this portrait was another stepping stone for me…just keep growing and learning…and I love it. (Just to let you know, you can see the original on my Facebook page on the right here…just click and scroll down a few posts)
