Claudia's portrait sadly neglected

[Rachel Mauger]

I put this portrait of my daughter aside two+ years ago. I have never been able to finish it. I suppose without a client breathing down my neck there has been little motivation to see my way clear through the problems.

I don't know where to start, but I do want to finish it. The colour is a little more diffused in the original, but that is the least of its problems.

I am convinvced it is redeemable but would like some direction as to how and where.

Thanks
