Hi....I am back from Emmett Kelly, Jr's 80th Birthday Bash and what a bash it was! I will be posting some photos from the events...but...this was an unexpected bonus of the week there in Tombstone! This little lass is Sophia and I discovered her in Tombstone singing at Karaoke! I HAD to paint her...so I found out who her parents were and got permission to have her model for my paintings and here is just one of the many gorgeous shots I was blessed with. I can't wait to get my canvas and brushes out and start painting again! Between Emmett and this little charmer...I have my work cut out for me for awhile! I hope you enjoy these! This is digital....and for you purists...a "straight" photograph...untouched with my famous manipulations!
