Cupcake! Portrait of a little girl..

Cupcake!
24 x 30
Commission

I loved painting this portrait and I loved the photo shoot.  This little girl was quite skeptical of me as I wielded my camera and tried to capture her digitally from every angle.  Trying to sketch was out of the question...she was just too fast for me!  We went for a walk, rocked baby dolls, petted the dog, put on shoes BUT when I brought out the cupcakes..we became fast friends!  She is such a delicate girly, girl with enormously gorgeous blue eyes and soft baby blonde hair I smiled the whole time I painted.  I am pleased to say her family was pleased with the portrait as well.
