I love the specific moistness of those lips; everything is crisp and perfect! Very, very well done!

I don't think I have could put it better.

What a wonderful use of red (my favorite color)! It is such a treat to see a use of such a bold color on a child's portrait, refreshing and engaging. I cannot wait for your next piece. So good, so soon.

I am sorry I missed this one, I was away.
