I have always wanted children. When I found out my first one was a girl (the day she was born), I was extremely excited. She was everything I dreamed for a daughter, and she still is.
Three years old is here, and halfway gone. Her independence seems to grow with her confidence. I can imagine several parents with daughters her age can relate.
I painted this oil painting called "Independence of a Three Year Old Girl" because I wanted to show what this girly-girl does in her room when mom is not around. Clothes fly from her top dresser drawer to the floor in search of the "perfect" outfit. Her kid's table chair is used as a step stool, of course.
Fortunately, I didn't have to make this scene up. She does this almost everyday (although, I tell her not to use her chair anymore...not too safe!).
