Pastel of 'Dana F'
This is the finish to the work in progress from this thread. The final size is 24X32" on Belgium Mist Wallis pastel paper mounted on gator board. Thanks for looking.
Ya know, after looking at it, I checked to see what it would look like with less borders. (about half) What do you guys think?

Jimmie,
Dana F. is such an interesting subject. You have done a great job in capturing the image and the attitutude. Great job. I vote for the narrower borders. The wider borders make her look too "boxed in".

Great. The balance of warm and cool shades of skin tone is marvellous. What a captivating portrait.. Inspiring.

I love it Jimmie. Your paintings are compelling and edgy. I vote for the thinner borders as well.

Jimmie, it's terrific!  . . .just love how you handled the hands, her expression, the tension at her shoulders and shadow at her hips...
I'm liking the thinner borders too.

HI Jimmie -
It looks great!
The face and personality come across much better in no. 2 with less border. On the other hand, if you are trying for the feeling of being boxed in, no. 1 works.
I personally vote for no. 2.
