  • Sassy Finished!

    And without further ado….. I put the finishing touches on this sweet girl yesterday.  All I have left to do is a few coats of a high quality water based varnish.  I like to use a satin finish.  The varnish not only protects the portrait, but also will bring out the depth in the many…
