My subject is the cherished daughter of my friend Janie. Loren, whose exotic beauty stunned people everywhere she went, was deeply in love and engaged to be married at the time she passed away after a long battle with cancer. I feel so honored that her mother asked me to paint her for her project in Africa, Loren's Hope, as it was always Loren's desire to go to Africa. Her portrait will hang there in the medical mission in Arusha, Tanzania after my friend Lori Dunne frames it. Thank you again, Janie, for this privilege.

Merci, Cath!
You did such an amazing job with this portrait, Camille!! A very sad post ..she will live on with this beautiful portrait when displayed in the medical mission in Africa!
It really comforts and humbles me to take part in helping Loren fulfill her dream. I think it was so wonderful of her mother to think of this medical mission for helping others in need to have good health and a chance at a long life. Thank you, Hilda for your kind comment!
A beautifully composed and executed painting Camille. Painting a portrait such as this means so much to the people that loved her, and I'm sure it brought her closer to you as well.
It was a great honor, Vern! And thank you, friend for the kind words.
Wow wonderful painting. The story gave me goosebumps so touching.
Her mother is doing wonderful things in her memory and I agree, it's very touching! Thanks for your nice comment, Carlene.
