Liz in leather boots
 

I just finish this painting and would really like some comments. I've been trying to soften the edges and tose edges in some areas. Do you think I might have gone to far in the dark areas? Also is the highlight on the boot too strong?It might be competeing with the face.

Joseph, I suggest you also post some closeups. That might help get some response. :)

Thanks for the suggestion Cynthia. I'm including some close ups I just shot.

Well Done Joseph, you have put alot of work onto those boots.

Others will make better comments than mine, but I find there should be more lost edges away from the focal point areas.

Was this done using a photo reference?
