Hello Orville,

You have done a great job painting this from life. It is hard to critique without a reference photograph. However, I think you may want to check the 'v' part of the face again. That is the proportion (a line drawn) from the outer edges of each eye coming down to the edges of the mouth (does this make sense?). I think it is critical to get these proportion right. The apples of her cheeks do not look as high as they should be, judging from the shape of her face. But then as I said, it is hard to comment without a reference photograph.

Maybe you can post a reference photo for us? (I always take more than one reference photo even painting from life, just in case I need it for the details etc.)

Mai
