Kaitlyn

This is a small 11 x 14 sketch of Kaitlyn.  She and her mom were kind enough to visit my studio and pose for me.  Stormy, Kaitlyn's mom, is in the Army...a 1st Sergeant.  I asked them to pose for my ongoing military life series.  Stormy brought her uniform so I could depict typical military scenes that were parts of my everyday life.  I expected Stormy to be easy to direct because she is a beauty pageant winner and very poised.  Kaitlyn was a delightful surprise.  She took direction well and has such thoughtful, soulful features.  I did this quick sketch to warm up for some larger pieces I am working on.
