DAIGLE FAMILY PORTRAIT

© Sharon L Hicks, 2012

Coloured Pencil,  14" x 17"

This portrait represents 20 members of an extended family, with the parents/grandparents surrounded by three generations of their descendants.  With the family members being widespread geographically, they all sent me photos to work from, so it was a challenging project.  And I DO love a challenge  :)   

I've been told that when it was  presented to the matriarch of the family, for her 70th birthday,  she was speechless and her tears experessed her appreciation.   I was very happy to hear that.
