Kim-- this is Gorgeous! Thanks for posting the closeup of the face. . . it shows so much more of what's there than the full image shot. and it's so neat to watch the way your painting style is evolving. I bet in real-life this just glows. Love the pose/movement and expressiveness you've captured in the hands!
Curious which image (close-up or whole painting) shows the color more truly?
(Just trying to catch up with things after being away over Thanksgiving or would have replied sooner
