This is wonderful Jimmie! It is a beautiful finish! I really enjoyed watching this develop in the Work In Progress section. I love her pose and the way you handled her hands and expression is just great. I still see quite a bit of looseness and energy so I hope you won't stay too disappointed with that aspect.
As I look at this piece as with some of your others I always wonder about your subject. Her expression in this has so much attitude I wonder if this is a familiar look for her or is she really quick to smile and laugh and you just caught her in this moment. I think you are very accomplished in this aspect of all your drawings and pastels. I always hope to achieve that kind of pondering in my paintings.
Congratulations on a Wonderful piece!
Julie
