This painting of my eleven year old daughter started as a sketch made when she was taking a rest from playing 'Lord of the Rings' in the garden with her elder brother one summer evening.  Her hair is dishevelled and over her own clothes she is wearing her father's old green tee shirt which came down to her knees like a tunic.

She soon wanted to go back outside to resume their game so I took some digital photos and completed the painting later, much as I would with a commissioned piece.
