Amy was in my first and second grade classroom

 and I helped 

with her education beyond those

years, in my Title I classroom 

when I was a school teacher.

Her mom was one of my 

excellent educational assistants!

I have loved keeping in

touch with her over all these years.

She lives in Burlington, Co.

When I put the request out for photos to paint from

for this challenge, Amy's were the very first to arrive.

I painted her Hampshire piglet, Gumball, a few weeks ago, 

as #3 of the challenge.

Knowing her for the many years as a child ~ allowed me to 

make a perfect likeness of her.

Her top was DARK blue and white, but I decided, 

I liked the first blue I put down - 

goes with her very beautiful blue eyes.

THANKS ~ Amy!!
