Portrait of Lee
Most of my portraits are painted with nothing smaller than a 1/4" bristle brush but this 15 year age young lady somehow suggested a finer treatment than I would normally employ. As I prepared to post these shots I noted a few things that I will adjust along her hair line and sleeve on our left. the freckles were a challenge as was the ever so slight smile she continued to show with only the slightest glimpse of a tooth.

Jim,
This a completely lovely painting!I like it best of any of yours I have seen.
Could you say a few words about how you dealt with the freckles?

Awe inspiring! I particularly like the hair and background, to say nothing of the delicacy of the face you've created.

The eyes have it
Those are the most captivating eyes I've ever seen. I could get lost in them. Beautiful, Jim.

What a range you have, Jim!
I think back on the "Old Seaman" with all it's textures, and then this delicate rendition so beautiful in its simplicity.

Jim,
Very "natural" flesh tones you have here. So many portraits you see nowadays are very warm.
Very refreshing.

Wow Jim, maybe it's time to get a new set of brushes! 
This is absolutely beautiful. I especially love how you handled the values in her pale skin.
Bravo!
