UPDATE:  Patricia Sone has done a guide for this canvas, too.  You can see the model on Facebook. The white haired lady in the other photo is Patricia Sone and the red-head is Deborah Hart-Ladd who is the model for the red-headed little girl.  This piece was created by Fleur de Paris' Sandra Gilmore when Deborah was diagnosed with cancer.
