The original pic was not real clear to see, pictured in first photo.

Then this is a friends grand-daughter-commissioned piece which I did with a twist of impressionistic style:

Mandolinrain Hi Missy...Ah that is Thomas...so good to put a face with a name...Your mom is going to love the picture....I know at 90 they look back on their life often and reminisce about their childhood...how wonderful to give that painting to her...oh geez I am tearing up...all your work is done beautifully...I feel the hearts and souls of each person...you truly make them come alive...Thank you for sharing your talent....Happy Sunday ~ Colleen 272 DOF

What a sweet comment, thank you Colleen. I truly enjoy this and I have you on my list as well  I work hard on the eyes more than any other part because if I can capture their eye, then it leads me to do better on the rest of the portrait

Smashing!  That granddaughter reminds me of Shashort!  You look so much like your mom in that painting.  Beautiful work, Missy.  Looking forward to Thomas.
