"You and Me Against the World" progress on this watercolor!

"You and Me Against The World" 8 by 10 inch watercolor on paper  © Maria Reichert 2011
Worked on this watercolor a little this morning, then set it up on the kitchen counter to study its values.  What do you think?!  
Does anyone remember that song..."You and me against the world..." it was from a musical a long time ago, can't remember the singer, maybe I will google it!

    What a sweet pose! Yes, I remember that song and it's a perfect title for this painting! I like the values and the colors in this painting. It has a really nice fluid feeling to it.

    I think you caught such sweetness. She seems curious, yet shy. She still needs her mommy. :)
