After a 2-week hiatus from the studio, I enjoyed painting this lovely girl. I wanted to represent a child finding her own form of protection, and if you ask me, this little leaf can protect against just about anything. If you look closely, you'll see that she is bravely traveling toward some darker hues and that she leaves nothing but light in her wake. This is for all the people who leave their corner of the world better than they came to it.
Side note: I had originally planned her dress to be green, but I'm glad I switched to the teal for a little more pop!
