An artist's sketch of my daughter and I....

Slava, an artist on Paseo created this sketch from the photo on the left (which was taken by my daughter) last Christmas. It is almost two feet tall and approx. 16 inches wide.
It was a special night for us, as it was Christmas Eve spent in a luxurious, rennovated a supposedly haunted hotel named The Skirvin.

About the art - Ryan and I both talked about the fact that at first you are expecting to see yourself as exactly as you see you....but then we also realized that the artist captured what he saw in this picture and worked to replicate that through the sketch. As soon as our expectations faded away...the spirit of what he saw became more clear to us. We felt he was successful in capturing our excitement for adventure, our close bond and deep love we have for each other as Mother and Daughter. Thank you Slava!
