Oil on canvas.    This beautiful young lady modeled after each her parents had modeled for us.  I met her mother at work in a chance conversation, and asked her to model and it snowballed into the whole family eventually, except the son deployed overseas while in the service (as his parents had been).    I love her name, and she was quite charming.  I had this painting in an art show and a young girl recognized it as being a friend of hers, but then, I knew it was an excellent likeness.
