A Redhead is Born

Olivia is my seventh great grandchild.  At the time of this painting she was not a week old yet and weighed less than five pounds.  She was very tiny but caught up quickly.   I wondered if I could do portraits in oil pastel and I selected this image thinking it would be easy.  Is wasn't.  But it did demonstrate that I can do portraits in oil pastel.  This paintings is 8"x11" using oil pastels on Colorfix primed hot pressed watercolor paper.
