Description
An account of the resource
Watercolor portrait of a young girl--the artist's daughter, depicted here likely around age five. The girl is facing the observer squarely, looking over her right shoulder. She is wearing a white, collarless shirt; blue-gray paint creates a light shadow on her right shoulder and a darker shadow on her chest. The girl has blue eyes and a neutral expression on her face. She is looking slightly down and to her right. Her hair is painted mostly in shades of red-brown, with some golden-colored accents. The hair, just longer than shoulder-length, appears very slightly wavy or disheveled and some falls over the right shoulder. The right side of the face (from the perspective of the observer) is in shadow. The background behind the girl is painted in a mix of brown and greens. The background color does not go evenly to all edges of the paper and the paint coverage varies between heavy, and light or dry-brushed. The paper itself--medium, cold-pressed, probably--is somewhat jaggedly cut along the top edge, smooth along the left side, and deckled along the bottom and right sides. Some of the preliminary sketch done in pencil is still visible, particularly around the nose, mouth, and chin.

Description
An account of the resource
Watercolor portrait of a young girl--the artist's daughter, here depicted likely around age five. The girl is facing the observer, although not squarely. The girl's body is merely suggested, but based on a related painting ([Artist's daughter II]) she is likely looking at the viewer over her right shoulder. The brushwork is loose and suggestive, more so than the artist's usual work. The girl's clothing appears to be white, with sky-blue accents around the shoulders. The girl's hair, which is just past shoulder-length and straight, is painted in various shades of browns on the left side of the piece, and browns and purples on the right side. The right side of the face, as seen by the observer, is less well-defined and appears to be in deeper shadow. The girl wears a neutral expression and her eyes appear to be cast slightly down and to her right. The eyes are painted in shades of gray. The background around the girl's head is painted an olive-brown color; it does not go to the edge of the paper and coverage varies with the white background showing through in several places where the brush was drier. White space is left around the edges of the painting. Some pencil lines are faintly visible from the original sketch. The paper itself is medium, cold-pressed, and cut cleanly along the bottom and right edges, but is deckle-edged along the left and top edges.

Description
An account of the resource
Watercolor painting shows a forest in the distance. The painting is done in shades of brown and green. Colors range from opaque to transparent, with the foreground generally being darker and more opaque than the background. Trees vary in their solidity, with some merely being suggested. The foliage, in particular, is amorphous; only the tree trunks and branches are distinct. The tree branches and trunks vary in color from a lighter, burnt sienna brown to a very dark, chocolate brown. Three white projections in the foreground may be trees, but it's unclear; they do not have any leaves and are extremely abstract. White circles and near-circles, absent paint, appear in the foreground of the painting and it's not immediately clear what they are meant to represent, either. There are plenty of open spaces in the forest as well, and vegetation is suggested in these areas, perhaps shrubs, although the painting is loosely styled, so that can only be speculation. In all, the painting only takes up about between a third and half of the total surface area of the paper. The image is located about halfway between the top to bottom of the paper, and stretches the full width of the paper. The shape of the paper is somewhat irregular; it was clearly cut down from a larger piece of watercolor paper. The top edge is deckled; the other edges were trimmed, unevenly, with scissors. This watercolor paper appears to be medium, cold-pressed.

Description
An account of the resource
Watercolor painting depicts flowering plants in colors of yellow, orange, and white. What look to be grey headed cone flowers are painted in a vibrant orange at the bottom left and upper right quadrants. A grouping of white-petaled flowers with golden centers that may be shepherd's needle is painted in the bottom right quadrant. In close to the center of the top half of the painting is a flower that may be white milkweed, with what's possibly an unopened, still green milkweed pod immediately to the left of the bloom. There are also three brown, spiky, globe-shaped, spent flower heads, possibly common burdock; one is near the center of the painting, and the others in the top left and bottom left quadrants. Green leaves and flower stems are also part of the painting.
Some of the white of the paper shows in the background, and the rest of the paper is an abstract backdrop of watercolor "blooms" in a sunny yellow, various shades of blue, and pale green. There are spatters of dark blue, yellow, and green paint across both the subject and the background. The paper is somewhat torn or peeling in a few places on the white milkweed, possibly because masking fluid was used there. Underlying pencil sketch is visible in places. The paper is medium weight, slightly translucent, and probably cold-pressed.
