Allan, I am always a big fan of your paint handling and I really enjoy looking at these closeups of your work. There are so many good and intelligent decisions here - I especially like the suggestion of movement around the top of the head. Your use of texture in the lights also gives life and movement to this lovely portrait. Your technique helps describe the life and charm of your daughter and the high-key color scheme is really effective here. Congratulations on another strong painting!
