OK, here's a funny story.
Last night, eight Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists (CSOPA) gathered at my house for our monthly "Meet 'n Critique" session. They had made comments last month which I encorporated into latest post (above) together with your kind suggestions and Passantino's. I proudly unveiled the framed painting which met with much approval. One of our newest members, Enid Hatton, has a background in medical illustration. She said most gently, "Um... If I may comment? You might want to check the anatomy." "What? Where?" I was puzzled... Turns out, that somewhere after the first stage, I did in fact loose one digit from sitter's left hand! We all laughed heartily at my blunder which escaped so many eyes... especially mine!
