Claire's New Haircut

My daughter is camera shy; she rarely smiles for photos. On the day I took the reference photo for this painting, Claire had just come home from the hairdresser, and was especially pleased with the results. She went inside, put on a fabulous shade of lipstick, and emerged ready for a photo shoot. I told myself then that I'd paint her confident, radiant, smile someday. It took a couple years, but I did!
