857 Water Fairies 2, oil on board, 6x6

I decided to try the beach fairies in a square format. I think it works well.

379 Cute Little Girl

I did this as part of the challenge to capture the cuteness of this little girl and simplify the image. I did it from a photograph provided by Carol Marine for the challenge. Simplification is a real challenge for me. I illuminated the background of the photo, which had cars and other figures. I chose this yellow green tint because I felt it was a nice compliment of the sienna and illuminated the image, bathing the girl in sunshine.
