Getting there
 

Tried to expand the darker values, and the eyes are getting there. I see by these shots that the upper lips are too light, but I've got to walk away for tonight. It's dark... but what a fantastic Florida day I had. Thanks for looking.

More progress
 

As Steven said, I'm done when I say I'm done.

I have spent the past several days viewing Morgan Weistling's DVD set. I may never be the same again. I've been feeling the need to loosen up for a long time now and this demo has re-charged me . I'm going to retreat to the studio, with some small canvas and still life subjects until I work through this feeling. We will see what comes of it.

I'm using the "Museum" setting on my digital to avoid the need for a flash. This photo is somewhat dull, but here it is.

Thanks for your time
