Young Girl

I was invited to paint plein air at a lavender festival. I met this young girl.  She was very interested in having her portrait done, and I was also interested in painting her. I  did a small watercolor that her mother really liked and purchased.  I then asked her mother if  her daughter would like to come to our Monday night portrait painting session and model for our group, this is the painting I came up with. I feel I captured her  sweetness and  youthful energy.  This is an oil on stretched canvas, 11"x14"  $150.00
