Ma Belle Fleur

A portrait of a happy young girl in a field of bluebells. This painting is about the happiness and innocence of being young. Her wide, open smile and wild curls capture that carefree, uninhibited spirit that makes childhood so special. The purple of the bluebells contrasts with the bright yellow of her dress, bringing a little extra life and vibrancy to the scene. The reference photo was digitally edited to place her in the setting and the colours adjusted to add vibrancy. The original painting is acrylic on stretched 100% cotton canvas with satin varnish (20 x 20 cm).
