The Picture She Chose

A new customer asked me to make a piece of artwork for her daughter, something that she could hang on the walls of her apartment. She sent me a favourite black and white photo of her daughter and her boyfriend, one that her daughter had herself picked out, along with another photo in colour. 
"I love your work and I know my daughter Avital will too" my customer wrote to me. 
I created a paper version of the young couple, carefully copying the details, from the folds of her pink shawl to the markings on his watch strap.
My customer was happy to receive the piece, then sent me a lovely message telling me that she had given it to her daughter. "I just want to tell you that I gave Avital the picture and she loved it!" she said.

They're such a beautiful, young couple. Your steps in creating them in art are fascinating. Do you every just do pencil drawings? I bet they'd be fabulous too. Your portrait of them is wonderful! Happy Monday! #MMBC

So lovely! Anyone would appreciate getting a hand-crafted gift like that from one of their own photos. I'm sure it will be beautifully displayed in her apartment.
