Thank you all for this feedback. This has helped greatly - especially considering I never wanted to look at her again and now I am eager to get to the studio tomorrow and work on it.

Tim, that painting is great and I am sure you are right. I am going to get that fabric on my back porch and whatever else from her original photo and lug the painting home & just look.

Lisa,

I agree, the tummy is too warm. The earlier phase of the painting I posted was closer to reality - this one has gone back & forth several times. I liked the tummy on my earlier version better.
