I just read Peggy's comments after typing my last post. I agree, Peggy that the white areas on the chair do take perhaps too much of the focus away from the girl. Those areas are indeed sunshine coming through the window.
And yes, I painted it from a photograph which I took of this little blonde cutie. It's a sample piece which I'll hang in a show next month in the children's section of the library in an upscale neighborhood near here.
