Work in Progress: As Sweet as Pie little girl portrait

22x15 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb hot press paper, a work in progress (WIP) begun today from a photo I took of Leah Roman Hughes' granddaughter.  I only had my iPhone photo reference from which to work, and this is as far as I got today.  There are black chairs behind her that I'll paint tomorrow which will make her white denim jacket really pop!  Her red hairbow is a nice counterbalance to the fruit.  The cheesecake covered with fat ripe strawberries looks too yummy!  The title will be "As Sweet as Pie".
