Here's another that taxed my resolve to post whatever I paint...  I was trying to capture the subtle light in my daughter's hair, but was thwarted by the size (no brushes small enough to capture the detail I wanted).  I enjoy painting hair almost as much as foliage - all pattern and interesting color gradations.

I like the overall composition though, so maybe I'll think of this as a study and try it larger. I think the background elements (pond and fence) actually came out quite well.
