Girl with Green Poncho


When I saw this pastel for the first time I was simply blown away. There is a simple purity about this portrait. Along with the complimentary colors of the clothes, the slightly open mouth, pug nose, hound dog eyes, and high arched brows, they all create a remarkably striking image.
