"Bella Isabella"

Watercolour on 300lb hot press paper

Now this is clearly why I love to paint children_ just look at that bright and lively smile. This sweet little girl captured my heart while I was painting her. Sometimes a painting is like a good book...you want to finish to see the end result but then are sad when it is done. Thanks Isabella for brightening up my days.

This was a very quick sketch in pastel. It's funny how sometimes I prefer the very rough and quickly rendered drawings that I don't over think.
