This portrait is composed with the subject, Owen, playing in his bedroom, bathed in soft, natural light.   A limited palate of blue and gold echo the coloring of the child.

    A simple setting allows the delicate features and coloration of this three-year-old's face to be the emphasis of the portrait.
 

    A familiar background, informal clothing,  and  the child's own characteristic pose can create a portrait which will inspire memories.
