Alice and the Caterpillar

I was so excited to have the opportunity to paint Alice! The week I moved to this house, I met a girl named Aiden, who was so cute I knew I'd have to find an opportunity to paint her sometime. She reminded me of Alice in Wonderland any time she wore a headband in her hair. So five years later, I finally got to use her as Alice. She was perfect! My children and husband were all excited about this illustration too. So much, in fact, that I was afraid it wouldn't live up to everyone's expectations. I was nervous to paint it for fear of ruining it. Hopefully I was able to rise to the challenge. I am pleased with the end result.
