Curls & Cupcakes


 Curls & Cupcakes
8" x10" Pastel on Velour
In a Private Collection


This precious little redheaded girl is my great grand niece.  I did this pastel a couple of years ago as a Christmas present for her folks.  They loved it!

Recently I was trying to decide if I should enter an art contest and saw the Dakota Art Pastels Soft Pastel Competition advertised.  I was unsure if I should even enter much less which pastel I would use.  But, last night right before the deadline I submitted "Curls & Cupcakes" for the Summer Quarter Contest.  

Winners will be announced October 1, 2020.  Who knows what will happen but I wouldn't know if I didn't enter. So it is out there.  I'll keep you posted on the results.

In the meantime, if you decide you'd like me to do a portrait for you let me know.  You can email me at karen@karenhargettfineart.com.  Be sure to check out my website too at Karen Hargett Fine Art.


But Jesus said, Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.  ~  Matthew 19:14| King James Version

Thank you Jo! She is a beautiful little girl and that painting was fun to do especially with all those curls. I don't know how I'll do in the contest but thanks for your "good luck" wishes.
