While looking for a subject for another art project, I came across an old black and white photo of Amelia Earhart, in her leather flight cap and sheep-wool collared jacket. I thought she exuded such quiet confidence and her story inspired me to create this portrait of her, based on that photo.
Aviatrix Amelia Earhart. Pastel pencils on brown art paper, size 28″ x 40″ (50cm x 70cm).
