I think the most powerful portraits are those where the artist had a personal connection to the subject. Rembrandt's Herman Doomer, Valesquez's Juan Prado and Bouguereau's Gabrielle Cot immediately come to mind.
I think this holds true here as well. One of your best. Mazel Tov.

A beautiful painting of your beautiful girl. Gosh... I remember when she wouldn't stop putting her fingers in my bird cage. Life comes at you fast.
Another lovely and spirited painting, Chris!

Thank you all so much for your comments, they are much appreciated.
Sharon, I paint too slowly to have her sit, although she is happy to model for reasonable lengths of time, and always for photographs...and to wander into the studio when I need to fine -tune color or planes.
Marvin, I do think there is something special about painting a subject with whom there is a close personal connection. Also, painting the same subject many times has a special aspect as well. Thanks for the good wishes.
Here''s a detail of the hands.

Beautiful, Chris. I knew instantly, though I have never met you, that she was your daughter!! Great presence and beautifully painted.
Congratulations to you and to your daughter's coming of age!!
