Yes, she really does call herself "Princess Leah". All of three years old, going on 18. This painting measures 28" x 29". It's my follow-up to the less than successful "Melody & Melvin". I had a heck of time with lighting this for photographing, and do you think I could get the balances right? No! (It's the best I could do for now. Still learning the myriad functions of my Nikon 995.)

What think you? Steven, am I at least going in the right direction? (Thanks to Karin for an earlier priviate critique. I didn't have the heart (nerve) to perform the full scale assault on the background you advocated! I DID make some adjustments, though. Compare this to the version I sent you.)
