Hi, Carolyn,
Thank you for your wonderful comments. It's nice to hear. I haven't driven myself crazy yet, and her face has gotten much softer. Mom will be happier with the image. I'll post it again when it's close to being finished so maybe final tweaking can be done. By the way, my monitor seems to pick up more red than is actually in the painting. I don't know how to decrease it, maybe it's the camera. I'll try photographing outside next.
I've been following your thread on drawing an accurate image and I feel that you are being way too hard on yourself. Ease up on yourself, you did good. There was lots of good advice; this site is really amazing. I've looked at some other ones and they are not of this quality. A real critique is a precious gift, and needs to be accepted with grace. I certainly appreciate it and I can tell that you do too.
