"Picking Cornflowers" Portrait of a Young Girl
This child portrait is called "Picking Cornflowers" since the little girl painted here is holding cornflowers she has just picked from a field. Painted from a photograph the same backdrop was used and painterly recreated. Here are some more of the work in progress shots.

Here the colors are roughly put in before even more color is added.
