Please Don't Make Me

oil on canvas paper, 12" x 12"

This is an oil sketch of a little girl I encountered one day last year at an ice creamery in Fairfax.   Her petulant expression got to me, and I've finally gotten around to expressing it.  I might not be done with this one yet.  Updated 11/25/2025:  Added a few touches.  Updated again:  11/30/2025:  Clearly, I wasn't done with it.  I totally redid the portrait because I hadn't gotten the angle right on the face.  It made a big difference.  Sometimes it takes more than one try to get it right.
