The Hermit _ Sold

18"x24"

Soft Pastels on Pastelmat

SOLD

I am happy to share this piece of news with you all.This Hermit from India is going to a UK household today.

Frankly speaking, I never thought it would...It is a very peculiar subject ;and not many people would buy portraits that are not their own/family.

But yesterday the CEO of my husband's firm asked to buy it when he saw it at 'FineArtAmerica' website.

So I think I sold my first portrait today which is not a commission!
