"Grandma's Mirror"

Recently I photographed the grandchildren of Anne O'Dell, a brother and sister, Paige (age 18) and Maddox (age 3). Paige had graciously agreed to pose for a series of paintings. I got some very nice reference material of Paige to work from. Maddie was running around while we were shooting, so I included him in many of the shots. 

In the following days I studied my photography of Paige, choosing the photos that inspired me to paint, and beginning the sketching and layout processes. 

Oddly enough, the first image that inspired me to start on a painting, is one of Maddie.... (stay tuned, more soon)
