Haven't done a portrait in a while... Here is a beautiful 7 year old girl who died on Wednesday. She apparently choked during lunch at school. It is such a sad and tragic story. It has been all I can think about for the past 2 days... Doing the portrait brought me some peace.

I will most likely be printing this on transfer paper and onto some white fabric for the center square of a memorial quilt that we are sending to the family.

She has a 5 year old brother who is also just heartsick over losing his sister.

Her name is Jensen... her mother was a part of a message board for moms who were all due for our babies in August of 2002.

Tragic

this is a reminder to live life to the fullest and cherish every day with your kids and family.

R.I.P

It is not easy to react on such a sad story, but your painting is beautiful, as always!
