Jessica

I just finished painting a 16x 20 portrait of my friend's (Alix) daughter, Jessica.

Jessie is such a loving and beautiful soul from the inside out.  

When I saw the photo Alix had taken of her I felt it deep within to paint her.

I wanted to capture her beauty and emit emotions as well.

Intimidating - HELL YES!!!

Yet I am learning to trust and follow the inner urgings.

So that is exactly what I did... I began.

Little did I know how cathartic it would actually end up being. 

I am so grateful, everyday, for the gift given to me to create art.
