Another challenge from Karin Jurick's Different Strokes blog. The photo provided was sushi. I had been wanting to paint this little gal for quite awhile. This was the perfect opportunity. This 8” x 10" watercolor on 300# Arches watercolor paper is available matted and ready for framing for $475 on my website http://www.dianemorganpaints.com/

I love the way you took this assignment to a whole different level by incorporating it into a scene. VERY NICE! Love your clean style.
Wow!!! I moseyed over here from Gwen Bell's blog. I love this! Great painting for the challenge!
Thanks Gwen and Sheila. When I first saw the sushi I thought oh boy, that's exactly my kind of subject....a simple still life. But, then I thought oh shoot that's too easy so I had to use this little gal.
I love this one, Diane! It's so well done.
What a great interpretation! Wonderful painting! Thank you for visiting my blog!
Outstanding job, Diane! Wonderful idea.
Thanks, Ed. I can't remember on whose blog I read this, but they commented on what a wonderful artist you were and how kind you were to stop by and comment on our lowly peon blogs....or something like that :-}
Diane,
Great idea and handling of it.
Great Work!
Great work. Love the way you have incorporated the reference into this scene.
Really beautiful painting - she looks quite happy to be eating that sushi!
This painting makes the photo real and complete. I love it. Love the young girl's expression she really looks like she is enjoy the sushi. I like the light-hearted-ness of it all too.
Thanks Deb, Maria, Adebanji (I enjoyed seeing the photos of your family..great looking group), Nithya, and Joanne. And, Victoria...getting approval from JAPAN makes it official :-}
Another bravo piece Diane! Very impressive incorporation of the sushi to a bigger picture BRAVO!
Beautiful job, Diane! You really went the extra mile by making it into a figurative!
Such a fun solution to this challenge. One of my favs!
