This is not a recent painting, but I have never showed it on the internet before. I was inspired to do it after I went to the portrait gallery in London. There was one like it painted in oil. I loved it so much, that I decided to try it in pastel. The face of course is not the same. The photograph of the painting is a bit blurred as it was under glass when I took the photo. It was sold almost immediately. Hope you like it!
