VICKI PEDERSEN BEST FRIENDS

My husband and I met this chatty, sweet, teenage cowgirl named Marlene after she had just competed in a junior rodeo. She was so much fun to be around and she couldn’t stop talking about her horse, Icie. I just had to paint Marlene and her horse. I knew she would make an amazing model. I enjoyed seeing the special bond between Marlene and Icie during our photography session and loved painting them both.
