Orange Marmalade

Of course you know who this little girl is supposed to be and why she's holding a jar of marmalade. Hmm, such dark dark hair.  

This was painted with acrylic on stretched canvas, and only shows the first stage of completion. Normally I might paint a background first and paint the foreground figure over it, but I tend to work in contradictory ways.

Next post will show the background and will write up some notes about the project.
