"Decked Out"

I picked our Challenge subject this month. At the time I named this one, I had some specific ideas in my brain to paint.
However, with my busy schedule I was unable to pose a model for the concept I originally wanted to create. (Sigh... please insert melancholy music here.)
So, I used an existing photo I
had, and added Christmas decorations to this little girl's attire. I did
have fun with it, even though I was pressed for time. Those other ideas
will just have to wait.
