"To Be Young" ©

Maybe 6 years old, I can't remember. I think my Mom took a photo of me out on the driveway in front of the house. It's very strange to look at a photo of myself and then attempt to paint it. The little girl is familiar, every bit of her and yet she seems like a dream. I still have the necklace in a small jewelry box that my Grandmother gave to me years ago.
