Michele,

This is a lovely painting, as is all of yours. Your handling of edges, I think, is just superb!
Since this is in the critiques section, I will offer a few observations. The column is a real attention getter for me, primarily due to the extreme light value. If you could lower the value I think it would push it back some and become "non-competitive". I agree also with Marvin concerning the highlight's in the eyes and on the teeth. I think other than the highlights on the teeth, that the teeth/mouth are painted as well as I've seen anywhere. They appear very natural.

Beautiful!
