This is striking. Very well done!
I love the strong light/shadow.
It might be my monitor but I'm having a hard time telling if that is her hair down her back or a backpack of some sort?
I'm sure it's clear on the painting. I'm just having a hard time seeing. (I'll blame my monitor but it's probably my aging eyesight!)
Your choice of the strong light works very well, and you've done a superb job on her sweater.

Well hello, Jerome!
Dare I say I think this is your best yet? What a tremendous use of beautiful colors...and so many! The subtle color changes work together so well on such an adorable subject. What a warm painting. I could look at if for hours. In fact, I am going to go look again. Great job!
