Betcha didn't know

I have a daughter.. she's lived away from home since she started post-secondary. Now finished school, working and enjoying her life of independence. Last week, she took a day off work to see our family dentist - thought I'd get a chance to draw her while she was home for a while, but no luck... Me: "Do you need to head back right away? Maybe have some dinner with us? You could go back downtown tomorrow with your Dad..."  Kate: "Uh, well, I really should get back - I have commissions I'm behind on, and roomies and I are having some friends over tonight, I should help set up, plus my cat needs to be fed, litterbox cleaned"... and so on. So I drove her back to her apartment and didn't get the chance. But I really wanted to show her off, so this is drawn from her high-school grad photo. She designed and made her beautiful dress (which turned out to be her career choice, hence the commissions). Boning and corsetry in the top section, complicated tucks and folds in the skirt section - she's one talented kid!
