This painting has been in the works for a few months now.  This is Brugge, Belgium, or Little Italy because of all of its canals.  I fell in love with Brugge with it's beautiful stepped houses, nice people and, of course, its huge population of chocolate shops.  :) 

I'm a little, OK, a lot ashamed to admit it, but this painting has been on the back burner for finishing for around 16 years now.  This is a painting of my sweet daughter who will be turning 18 this Friday.  I was struggling with the dumb tree and just gave up.  Unfortunately, I still don't think I pulled it off.  I'm calling it done for now and will go back to it later when I can figure out what needs to be done.  : /
