Maggie is a pencil and pastel commissioned portrait by Ellen Rice, created forMaggie's grandfather to match portraits the style of portraits his late wife had had done of their other five grandchildren many years earlier. Maggie was an unexpected late arrival and the apple of her granddad's eye. Her grandfather passed on shortly after Maggie's portrait was completed. Her dad said her granddad was very happy that his late wife's desire to have all of their grandchildren painted was fulfilled. When he came in the gallery to let Ellen know, he said the portrait looks more like Maggie than the photograph from which Ellen drew it. "I don't know how you did that!," he exclaimed. Private commission. No prints available. Portrait likenesses are guaranteed by Ellen. |
