and close-ups. . .
I've still got some work to do one her upper lip (edges and deepening shadow immediately under her nose), and her hand (pushing down the light values/contrast a bit so that the hand recedes), but otherwise think this is getting pretty close. I'm meeting with the client Monday to make sure she's happy with the likeness before finishing touches and varnishing. (Sorry, I can't post the reference photos at client's request - but I think the likenesses are good).
Several families in the same neighborhood as this client, have expressed interest and I suspect the success of this painting will impact whether or not any of this interest is converted to commissions.
So -- any critiques, comments would be more than welcome. Thanks!
