Hi Everyone,

I have received such terrific advice in the oil forum, I have decided to seek advice here too!

This is a pastel portrait I am working on, 28 x 22 inches, on sanded paper. The mother is pleased with it at this point, but I know there is always room for improvement. I have backed off on the eyebrows making them less prominent than they are in the photo. Evidently this was a good decision, because the mother is pleased with the likeness.

I have opted not to put too much detail in the dog's feet, so that more emphasis would be on the faces.

Any suggestions?

Your comments are appreciated.
