Portrait of Kristin - Strada Easel September Challenge & Oil Painters of America's Wet Paint Competition submission

 My sweet daughter took the time during her lunch time from school to sit for an hour on Day #11 of the Strada Easel September Challenge and then again the next day for a couple of hours representing Day #12 of the Strada Easel September Challenge and to provide for me an entry into the OPA "Wet Paint" Competition.  We had to finish it up the second day before she had to leave for work which is why I didn't spend more time developing the painting (I had until 10:00 PM that day to submit it).
