Absolutely knock-out Diana.

Brilliant! That expression says it all!

Ha ha she's a darling and it's a beautiful painting.

Love it. What a delightful expression you’ve captured.

Lovely palette Diana, love the suggestions of her fly-away hair.

Diana this is superb, beautiful child and beautifully painted.

Ha ha that cheeky expression, beautiful portrait!

What a cutie Diana. You've certainly captured that gorgeous, mischievous look.

Thank you Heather , Im delighted you think so. Thanks Thalia. Full of mischief. Thanks Dennis, on both counts. Thank you Christine. The open mouth was a bit tricky . I daren't fiddle though Thanks Marjorie . Its surprising just how dark I needed to go . There was still room for stonier colour in places bur I chickened out. Thank you Maureen. Its a nice change from still life. Thank you Paul. She's a happy little person. Thank you Anjana .She knows how to get a reaction as do most toddlers.. Thank you Dennis. Lovely to hear from you. Thanks Susan. She is full of mischief and laughter.

Ha a young woman with obvious taste..real character oozes from this, cracking portrait.

Another great picture Diana.

Beautiful portrait Diana - pure mischief!

Great expressive portrait, Diana, and lovely palette.

All the above, I like the grainy texture

Everyone should wake up to this astonishingly happy face every morning, what a different mood we would all start off in. It made me laugh out loud, it’s so infectious.

Absolutely stunning Diana.

Ha , yes Lesley. Best place for it !!Thank you Thank you Paul. I am happy overall but there are always a few areas that I could fiddle with . Especially in a portrait. Thank you Margaret. She certainly has a mischievous streak and it at the age where she knows how to use it. Thanks Cesare . She had such such tanned skin in the summer that I could have been really brave and strengthened the colour more . Thank you Roger. I don't know how the iPhone camera picks up the shadows on the paper tooth so strongly. How lovely to have a reaction like that Fiona. She is at the stage whee its great fun to throw everything on the floor repeatedly. Thank you Romila. I was worried that the hands would spoil it but removing them altogether would weaken the composition

What a delightful, wrinkled, nose and such an amazing smile Diana. Love the way the bottom of the painting fades away and the superb colours you have used.

Fantastic work, love her expression

Winnie is delighted. Super as always Diana.

Thank you Carole . She is extremely sun tanned an actually darker than this but I wasn't brave enough. Thank you very much Petra and John . Its lovely to reads your feedback

Yes! Amazing portrait by making use of the effect of watercolor medium which is unforgiving.

Half sheet watercolour. I wanted to keep the lower area much looser but can’t stop coughing long enough to add much detail 😄
