Rebekah: Senior Years

Color Pencil 10"x12"
Orig photo below


Rebekah starred in an earlier post (see here), as young 'Beckie', a delicious skittish pose, since - for her portrait - pure delight seemed the better memory to frame.

This sketch was from one of the last photos taken of her - she died late summer 2010.  It was not chosen for the portrait since both the person who commissioned the piece and I felt her expression was a bit too pensive and sad. 

However, poignant though it is, it's Rebekah.  
The photo from which it's taken is below.
