Artist's Comments

A portrait of Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) from the 1993 film "The Secret Garden" done in charcoal and chalk, 14x17 The main character (in this portrait) is a young girl, hence the odd proportions.

This took about 20 hours, it was long. Spaced out over 5 days, it was quite intensive. I really hope you like it. The hat was hell to draw, I will never draw wool again. I wanted to have a picture with Mary in it though because I loved the hat in the movie. Its bright red and adorable.

If youve never seen the film I highly recommend it, its the most beautiful movie Ive ever seen. They have it on youtube, but its best on an actual tv screen.

Better picture coming soon hopefully :)

may 28, 2009 edit: much better photo here. I also added some stray hair strands on the left side of her hair because before it wasnt as messy as the right side.

I really, really adore this. Secret Garden has always been one of my favorite movies growing up. Mary was so pretty too and you really did a masterful job capturing her personality.

I loved her hat too, :). I can see how difficult that must of been to replicate, but you did so well. Beautiful.
