Karin, thanks for looking. She doesn't smile with her mouth closed, though; at least, when she does it doesn't look natural. I worked on the painting for awhile today and slenderized her torso somewhat; I'm also putting lots of shadows and other shades into the shirt so that it's not solid red. And I'm softening the shadows in her face so that they're not as stark. Frankly, I really like the way it looks so far. I'll post it when I'm done. It may never be the sort of painting you or Chris or Mari or Mike would do but it's very much in the style I've carved out for myself. And I do appreciate the tips; I'll definitely keep them in mind for my next photo sessions. Thanks again to everyone.
