'Courtney' is one of my early charcoal and pastel pieces. The portrait is of an adorable little girl who wanted more to drink but was too shy to ask. Her expression is precious, and I knew the moment I saw it that I simply had to turn her into a work of art. This piece is one of my favorites, and remains in my personal collection. While it is not for sale, prints are available upon request.
