This was done specifically to mark and celebrate my 20 years of painting in watercolour (since 1988, beginning here), as slyly noted by the "20" I included on the back cover of the book Ashley is reading. I really wanted it to be special, so I used a full sheet of watercolour paper and gave it my best shot.
Alternate sketch.
I tried a few different poses with Ashley reading on the couch, and the above sketch is from a photo I very nearly used for the final painting. I still may use it someday...
TEN YEARS LATER...
