"Day Dream of her Youth"

     Another challenge. I wanted to capture a young lady deep in thought of how her life has arrived to the present by remembering some moment in the past. The child was enclosed within an oval to give a touch of past times. To draw the 2 phases with an ability to compare the two times and see the transitional development of the facial structure was enjoyable. The little girl held the rose so I used it as a point to capture and link the two together. I added a touch of red the each's lips. In that manner, rather than looking at just two portraits, one passes along the line back and forth wanting to compare them.
