“Imprinted on our heart is the exact moment we fell in love with the beach.” – Judith Frenette

his piece was created for a special client who participates in my beach mini session day every year. This sweet little girl loves the beach and so I combined all the elements she adores into a classical painting. This was done by taking her from an image from the past year and inserted her into this beach scene that I created with the individual items. To then blend everything together I added highlights and shadows and finished everything off with different digital oil painting techniques to create this “Painterly Portrait”.
