Rebecca
(14"x11" pastel on gessoed w.c. paper)
Rebecca works at one of my favourite gluten free bakeries here in Edmonton, Celebrate Gluten Free.
Her smiling face is just one of the many friendly staff who may greet you when you visit this special bakery.
One day, when I was at CGF picking up my bread order (along with other delicious treats), Rebecca came to the counter to assist me and I was immediately inspired to ask her if I could paint her portrait... lucky for me she said yes.
Rebecca mentioned she is interested in studying Culinary Arts, which ties in nicely with her experience working at Celebrate Gluten Free.
I have to confess that I absolutely love CGF's carrot cake and it has become a tradition for my birthday cake!
Next time you stop by CGF to sample some scrumptious baking say hi to Rebecca for me.
