Enzie, I really like this painting, too - I love the play of pattern and detail and the green/pink color theme is charming and successful. Nice work!

Thank you Linda! I pulled the color scheme from the outfit that Lillian was wearing. The pattern you see in the background happens to be that of a wall paper I had seen at the Miette candy store in San Fransisco.

This portrait goes to a young family of six in Alaska. Because of all the young children in the household, I wanted to pick a theme for the portrait that would put Lillian in an environment that is playful and fun. I played on Lillian's sweetness as she sneaks a candy.

The challenge was to make sure that the wall paper does not compete with the subject and I hope that I succeeded.

Enzie, I really like this! It's charming, unique. I love the patterns and colors and her impish little face.

Very nice, Enzie. Bright, clean and lively. Again, your passion and talent for detail really shows.
