PRETTY IN PINK

I am planning a free project for my next post, including a free printable embroidery pattern which you can join me and sew along. While I’m working on that here is a portrait I finished that will take you back to the good old 80’s.

For my next portrait subject I decided to work on a movie character who really was the emblem of my teen years, Molly Ringwald. Her pout face was just a CLASSIC. I can’t even count how many times I have watched 16 candles and rewatched it years later with my kids. It still holds up. I loved all her movies and her unique look. It was so nice to see someone who was anything but cookie cutter as a leading lady. It was a delight to bring this portrait to life, especially that flaming, red hair.

The pouty pink lips.

So many hues in that flaming hair!!!!

Thanks for following my portrait adventures!

Hope you are all staying healthy out there!

Warmly,

Pam
