Memorial Portrait of Bells (Commission for Molly Hespenheide & Family)

I had the honor of painting a memorial portrait of Bells for Molly Hespenheide and her family last week. The portrait was a gift from Molly for her brother and family and they received it today. What a beautiful girl she was with such expressive eyes and a sweet face. I can tell from all of the photos that Molly sent me that she was so loved and cared for. Rest in peace, sweet Bells.

Here are a few photos that show the progress from the sketch to finished.
