Best pastel portrait!

As children, we all have images that resonate with memories of our youth. These images make us reminisce about simpler times and remember lost loved ones that have passed. I will forever think of my grandmothers when I see landscape paintings with bluegrass or a dusty sunrise that overlooks trees.
This week I began working on a portrait of my mother I always admired as a child. I'll always remember admiring old photos of my family members in my fathers' mother's scrapbooks. Everyone was glamorous and retro in the images of them in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This image was a picture of my mother before she had children and before she married my dad. She might have been engaged to him at the time but she diffidently wasn't married to him yet. I love this image because this was a side of my mother I didn't know. Not knowing her as someone other than my mom created an allure of how she was then. ​
