Evelyn and Lydia




Evelyn and Lydia were our neighbors for 1 year.  These Blue eyed beauties moved back to Massachusetts last fall and we miss them dearly.  I asked to paint their portraits over the winter, never did I imagine it would take me this long.  Trying to study my reference photos and memories to bring out Evelyn's elegance and Lydia's determination was exceedingly difficult with out the real thing in front of me. It was fun to have all those cozy mornings in the studio with the snow outside my window.  I am grateful to be able to follow my heart and create.
