Among Mom's flowers

The above camera study is the foundation of a beautiful Canvas Oil Portrait that will be created from this image. Once completed, the 24x30 inch piece will not only capture a likeness of this beautiful child, but more importantly her personality.

The setting was chosen to frame the subject with flowers her mother planted and enjoys caring for. The red wagon to the left compliments the roses and visually carries the viewer's eyes through the portrait. Finally lighting was refined in a pleasing warmth that matches the genuine expression of our young subject who was so proud of being three years old. A portrait of her brother will also hang on an adjacent wall to complete the heirlooms of Mom and Dad's children at three.
