Daily Painting - 05/07/16

I've still been painting each day.  Most days, I get started with a painting on one day and finish it the next.  This is one that I did tonight.  I really, really want to have a greater lightness and freshness, which hopefully will come in time as I gain practice and experience. This is the fourth time that I've painted from the same pictures and I do see improvement each time, so I'm not complaining.

I also know and adore this creature and I think that makes it harder to paint her.
