Anika was a young model who sat for us during open studio. She struck several quick poses and I sketched about 10 of them on one page. The sketches seemed to make a nice a design so I chose 3 of them and her portrait to compose my pastel painting of Anika dreaming about her future. It’s not meant to be realistic - colors pop and painterly strokes.
