She is just luscious!
Were you able to get her to sit at all or is she at that age when every moment she spends with you is an ENORMOUS favor.

I thought it would be another lovely one like the one you did of your son - duh, I didn't know girls could have Bat Mitzvahs!
So what a wonderful surprise opening this to find such a beautiful girl and a painting that does her justice! Beautiful, and I especially love her lips!
Nice skin tones.

I think the most powerful portraits are those where the artist had a personal connection to the subject. Rembrandt's Herman Doomer, Valesquez's Juan Prado and Bouguereau's Gabrielle Cot immediately come to mind.
I think this holds true here as well. One of your best. Mazel Tov.

Chris, I think you must have posted this while I was on vacation. .. stumbled across it while looking for a different post. She's beautiful and beautifully done.
