Revelers 2010

Did I mention that I'm trying to introduce more levity into my paintings?  This happens to be my daughter, Anna, and some friends, but I think it has some appeal whether you know the models or not.    I'm mostly pleased with it because it's nothing like the photo.  I was able to change the lighting, the positions of the people, add the balloons, etc. It's taken awhile to be able to visualize what kind of changes might work and to trust my imagination instead of relying heavily on photo references.
