I think Aunt Karen did an amazing job! She is the aunt that wanted Nora to wear her white gown, bonnet,shoes, her mom made her.(I posted photos one time,in Projects, I believe.) Nora is named after Karen's mom, Elanora, and Karen had no children. She has done a beautiful likeness of Nora. Thanks for looking.-T

85867Everyone one should have a full frontal face, and both sides in case of an accident or mishap and reconstructive surgery needs to be done. It saves the plastic surgeon a lot of grief and heartache and the family gets their loved one returned as normal as possible. It also makes it easier for the victim to overcome and process the events.
She is gorgeous and looks real in the painting. :-)

Leaha, that's the kind of surgery Grace is undergoing today, along with bone reconstruction. One side of her face was crushed. They are hoping after surgery, her sight will come....Before surgery, her dad asked her if she knew the 'peace' sign, she showed him the sign with her fingers.............waiting to hear.

Yes, Chris this is Ashley her mom and this was the afternoon of Nora's b-day. It was hot out. My coworker says the same, she would love to paint faces and she does paint. I don't know if a could paint a room - lol

I think she's good too. My coworker paints but she says portraits are to difficult for her . Coworker has even done very large,background baptistery scenes.
66505Very nice painting, Nora is certainly a cutie, the two pictures do look a lot alike. Thank you for sharing Toogie, your grandies are so precious!!!

This is the only side photo that I had of her, for you to compare. I am in awe of anyone who can draw or paint, as I can't draw a straight line. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

I am and so very thankful! She did do a great job and although I have met her several times, I didn't know she had this talent. She is a professional interior designer/decorator and has her own business.
