Hi Mary -

I saw this when you posted it on Wetcanvas, and I remember you said the clients loved it so congratulations! I think it definitely shows a lot of confidence and verve in your strokes, and is a good likeness.

I thought the eyes were a smidge too large and the whites too bright. I reduced the shape of the eyes in Photoshop by 10-11% to check and that seemed better, then lowered the light highlights too. I didn't keep the Photoshop file, though, because you didn't ask for a critique on WC.

Congrats on a successful commission!
