Girl in a Quilt

I've been working on this piece for a few weeks. My lovely daughter Suzanna is my model. I wanted to develop a more decorative style with this one. The realistic approach to the figure that is draped in a quilt, that becomes a flat, pattern design. This is also a very high key color palette which I don't usually work in. 

I had trouble with the photography on this, so I'll need to re-shoot when the weather clears. (I'm told that there is something called "Spring" coming soon. So I'm looking forward to that) Notice the glare on the left side of the painting. Ugh!

It's always nice to have girls that will indulge their father's art by becoming models when needed. I'm very thankful.
