"Louisiana Innocence"

This is a recent watercolor painting of a subject that I have wanted to do for quite some time.  I wasn't able to find a photo to use as a model until Ed Jones, a friend of mine, sent me an email and one of the photos in it was just what I needed.  My wife helped explain the details of the dress to me.  It is supposed to show a little girl enjoying her new dress on a spring day along the Gulf Coast.
