I must comment on the fact that when doing this portrait, the mother loved the pose, but didn't think the photo "looked" like Kreusi. Therefore we drew from several close ups, and in the end she spent an afternoon with me. Her mother just left about an hour ago and was completely happy with the likeness of the painting. So I don't want to change any physical aspects of this, since as the mother put it "OH MY GOD it looks just like her!"...I just need to take it to the next level and not sure how.
