Golly Molly, you do breathtaking photography, in addition to your paintings! She's perfect! Is this the final crop? I would only say, consider that a frame may crop a quarter an inch on all sides, and allow for that. Perhaps digitally place a virtual frame around her to see if you want to tweak the crop. I do like the cropping by the way.

I'm jealous, wishing I could paint her too. I can't wait to see what you do with this.

You've mastered a perfect tonality with your photographic references so that they are quite paintable. The color is perfect too. I hope to learn from you more about this processing of yours. In the mean time I'll just study these.

What a great beginning. You're inspired, I can tell.
