Children in portraits

Here is a portrait of my little fairy mostly grown up.  She will absolutely hate that I posted that, but maybe she will forgive me after I start making the Christmas cookies tonight.  This is also 11x14, acrylic paint.  It is hard to paint children of a certain age--they are quite critical.  She didn't like that I painted a black shirt instead of the one she was actually wearing at the time.  I'm just thinking that in a few years purple stripes with silver thread might get a little dated.  I added her favorite Kalevala (http://www.kalevalakoru.com/) necklace, instead.
