Annie

This was a project filled with inspiration and love.
This is NOT the final version of this painting.
I have done more detailing of the hair.
The final version will be submitted soon.

The model is the most beautiful Annie Beasley.
The photographer is the most talented Mike Strausser.
Thank you to both of them for allowing me to use their photo as inspiration for this painting.

What made this very special and filled with love . . .
Annie sent me a blurry, tiny photo of her very own "baby tree". With the miracles of computer technology, I was able to use Annie's tiny photo as the background to this painting.

May the love and spirit of Christmas be with us all year.
