"Amelia's Starry Night", 3" x 2 1/2", (frame size 6 1/2" x 4"), egg tempera miniature portrait on Kelmscott vellum |
"Amelia's Starry Night" (shown slightly larger for detail) |
And here is little Amelia in April with her first ponytail! Is this little girl cute or what?! |
Here is my miniature portrait of Amelia, who is the daughter of Erika and Brian Boccia. Amelia's mom, Erika, is my sister-in-law's niece. P.S. : I neglected to mention this earlier in my post, but I used a special powder pigment made from the gemstone lapis lazuli along with the other blues in the sky of this painting.

That's so precious, Mona. Very nice work!
Thank you Kari! I really enjoyed painting Amelia, and with her parents' permission, I've added a more recent photo of her to this post.
This is absolute stunning Mona and will be treasured for generations to come. One of my all-time favourites. I love the gorgeous light that bounces off the beautiful little infant :)
Karen, that is a real compliment coming from you. Thank you so much!
So sweet, Mona!
This picture is very sweet and dreamy. Beautiful and magical work.
thank you Shelley!
