Description
A beautiful youngster, experiencing a moment of unconditional joy, expressed with heartfelt laughter. What a wonderful subject to paint! I was a relative rookie at portrait painting when I started working on this piece but I was so determined to capture what I saw here that I literally learned how to paint portraits on this piece. The strong light, the fly-away hair, the dark background all combine to make this a strong painting and an apt representation, I think, of what Hannah was feeling at that moment! Award winner-Best of Show in the 2013 Central Ohio Watercolor Society Fall Show.

Spectacular! There is no other word for it. I especially like the patterned dress, the missing tooth, and the stray hairs against the black background. You have captured the happy spirit of this young girl. like/f/vote
