"Porter Ann"

This portrait has been one of the most challenging and rewarding that I have completed in a very long time. At first I wasn't sure that I could do it, but was willing to try after recieving the following request.

"Tracey, Last month my daughters first baby, a little girl named Porter Ann was stillborn. We have no pictures of her other than the ones the nurses took, which as you can imagine, were not good. I would like to have a small pencil sketch made of the baby for my daughter. Is this something that you would possibly take on? It would mean so much to her to have something to remember Porter Ann by that could be placed out for others to see. Her biggest fear is that we will forget her, but the pictures are just not good enough to be displayed and need an "artists" eye." - Pam B.

I simply could not ignore her request.
