Sisters in GG's Garden

Huguette came to me with her idea to create a family heirloom. She had taken many photos of her garden and her lovely grand children, She wanted to capture the morning light in order to remember this cherished moment. Once the details and composition had been decided on I began to paint this oil commission. Here is the process.
