Tom, this is such a nice painting. I especially love her toes, they look so real.
The most difficult thing for me to learn to master is the hierarchy of detail. The Pakistani Girl in the WIP was and continues to be a real struggle, because in a relative depth less painting, there is so much going on that competes with the head. When to push the envelope and when to back of is definitely an acquired skill, which I am glad to hear you have successfully mastered.
Your work is beautiful and it is nice of you to share the flaws you see in your own work. I for one would have never noticed, but through your humbleness, have been given a chance to learn and understand.
Thanks!
