I saw this young lady playing ping-pong with her father at a party the other night. I asked her mother if I could take a quick camera pic of her to paint later. She stopped for a few seconds and I snapped a few shots of this active 11 year old. I like how she didn't even bother to push back the few straggles of errant hair off her face before returning to her game of ping-pong.

Just beautiful. Lovely colors.
Exciting painting with great loose brushwork Sheila!
You captured the young lady's internal energy. I get the sense that she can't wait to get back to that ping pong game. Beautifully done!

Sheila....you said,"I like how she didn't even bother to push back the few straggles of errant hair off her face."
That's what really sets this portrait apart from the ho-hum! Fine job on the hair! Great work!
