Portrait of Laryssa


This is a portrait that I painted of my great niece, Laryssa Nunn, when she was two years old. My niece, Jenny, took a photo of her daughter Laryssa at her dance class while she was tired and leaning up against the mirror. It was such a darling photo so I wanted to capture it in oil on a canvas. This is the first portrait I've ever painted so it's not perfect but it actually looks like Laryssa so I'm pleased. I just hope her parents like it because it's their Christmas present!
