Description Here is a portrait I made for my dear friend Laura of her mother.  My last art to finish in 2016!  This is done in Prismacolor Premium colored pencils.  I will also post a version where I added a filter to the scan.
Here is my reference:   
Happy new year dear Laura!

ERMG! You are totally sweet! I voted for this one in the poll (because it looked a bit more clear and sunnier), but was VERY torn between the two! They both were so special in their own way!
