~A Painting For My Daughter~

~As a new apartment warming gift, I wanted to give Misty something *special*...So we found a picture we both liked and I painted it for her....





~The original was of an Asian girl but I changed a few things and made mine resemble Misty with blond, curly hair. I also made a few changes to the color scheme so that it would match her new bedroom.

Here is a picture of the original...


~After struggling with the thought that I was a "copy cat" who couldn't seem to get my own ideas onto canvas...and much thought...I have decided that it is OK to paint something similiar but the way I see it "with my own eyes".

~I named mine "Serenity" and was quite pleased with the way it turned out!
