I saw this young girl of about 10 or 12 years old a few weeks ago in my local McDonald's restaurant. I couldn't help admiring her stylish good looks and tried to recapture it here. I remembered she was wearing a checkered patterned hat, a black jacket and stylish checkered patterned boots. The prettiest thing was the ruffled scarf she wore around her neck to complete the outfit. She sat with a couple of older ladies, maybe one of them was her grandmother. I wondered if they were European as the little girl had that sense of style. Wish I could have taken her photo for you! She seemed to be nursing a black eye, dabbing it with a tissue, hope they didn't notice I was staring. They probably did, as I tend to stare at things that interest me.

Nice, nice job! This is really terrific-- and from memory. Wow.
Happy weekend, jj
Yup, I agree with you. Americans tend not be as stylish as Europeans.
Lovely painting. I have a hat just like that, but don't manage to look quite so good! Valerie
I can't believe you were able to remember all that. Wow! The black eye is worrisome.
She does look very stylish, and you described her well!

I think you captured her sense of style perfectly! Love this.
This is great, love her style and her sassy attitude! HPPF!
Christine this is awesome! I love her great expression and the colours and proportions and all is so great! Would love to see more portraits from you
She is wonderful, very jaunty and full of life.
Great capture, Christine. Love her outfit too. Wonder how she got the black eye. Hope not through any sort of abuse. You did well on the close, but noticed you left her black eye out of the painting.
Glad she's better now. ;-)
Your girl is certainly stylish, for sure. Beautiful painting.
stylish indeed, and very cute! great job doing this from memory, as I know that's not easy...happy PPF!
