Hi Peggy,
What a lovely, dramatic portrait. I'm struck by the catlike lines of this woman, the lines of the arms complimenting the lines of the leg, foot, etc. (Is her feline nature grabbing the attention of the little dog, perhaps?)
I also like the ratio of light to dark in this painting, it makes the drama even more powerful.
You also aced all those pearls, my own personal painting nemesis.
Congratulations on an outstanding work.
Linda
