A sweet angel


PASTEL  -  9  X  12  INCHES
A SWEET ANGEL

When I saw her the first time, I thought what a beautiful looking young woman.  She came to our place to give us a hand with my mom , who's getting of a certain age (very soon , 97 years old) and needs help sometimes.   One of those rare dedicated person who suddenly appears from nowhere , a sweet angel. 

Quand je l'ai vue la première fois,  j'ai pensé que cette jeune femme était très jolie.  Elle est venue pour nous donner un coup de main avec ma maman ( qui aura bientôt 97 ans) .  Une de ces rares et précieuses  personnes qui apparaissent comme çà de nulle part, un petit ange.

She has angel eyes Helen. You style does justice to this young woman's sparkle. --Your mom, at ninety seven, has plenty of sparkle too I imagine. How lucky you are to have her.

Oh Helen - your portraits are wonderful. She does look like a sweet angel. Isn't it amazing how God sends certain people into your life just when you need them!! I am sure he sent you into mine - hugs from your blogging friend.

Dear Helen, in this portrait you painted all the feeling that this person spreads around her.
Something unique, that for those who paint a portrait is a wonderful achievement, because it's like painting a portrait the soul, beyond the features of the face.
Have nice week.
Hugs,Rita

A beautiful portrait, Helen!
Something about her eyes that I found myself smiling. When my Dad
passed away he was 99 and he was such a joy !! However, there were times that I could have used this "sweet angel" that you painted! Enjoy your Mom!

Helen H Trachy a dit…

Thank you Chris! :)
