Pencil Sketches of Children: "Madison"

















Detail of a pastel portrait on paper. July 2009.
In the private collection of Spencer & Heather Hess.


Showing the unique personalities of beautiful 8-year-old identical twins was an exciting challenge. The full version of this drawing shows Madison holding a book to represent her reading hobby and her thoughtful nature. BTW, Madison has one prominent freckle on her nose!

  2. Thanks Deanne - we can't say enough how pleased we are with the pictures you did of our girls. We are amazed at how well you captured each one of them - especially without having spent time with them. They're just perfect. You have a gift from God!
