Tammy, thanks for the title suggestions. She was watching a movie on tv, and was so attentive that I had to tone it down some.

Marcus, thanks so much! I knew that type of top had a specific name, but I couldn't come up with it.

Mike, thanks for your observations. I will go back and work on some fixes. I didn't post the original photo because I was not striving to get a likeness. The objective for this piece was to explore values, edges, color and feeling. But your suggestions are dead on: I inadvertantly trimmed the face, let the local color of the nose influence the values, and overdid/underdid other values.
