Casual Portrait

"Taylor Looking for Hermit Crabs"

This is a little 8x10 "slice of life" portrait I did of my neice at my painting night on Tuesday at my mom's. I took the reference photo at Sand Island last year on a day trip and picnic. Taylor is looking for hermit crabs for a large collection she amassed that day. She is the type of girl that doesn't mind picking up little creatures - she loves frogs and turtles, too. With an older brother and two boy cousins in the neighborhood, she can hang with the best of 'em!

I was planning on taking it in the the studio and using my little brushes to add in some more detail - but my husband says he likes it the way it is.
