I am so relieved to hear what you guys are telling me!! You just have no idea! I knew I needed to work on the coat, and softening up the contrast on the face is easy enough..so is shaping the bow better.

I am so relieved to hear no changes to her likeness or that darn hair! lol.....that means I really may be on the home stretch after all!! Feels good, I can tell you that! Truly, I do see the coat issues...I could leave it alone, but why, if I can make it even BETTER!! I strive to really work hard on each piece until I know I just can't do anymore on it without ruining it. I'd say after tomorrow's painting day, I'll be signing it. By the sounds of it, I get the thumbs up from you guys, after the minor changes have been made.

Thank you all so much....
