Thanks Kim and Laura,
Your comments boost my confidance! I still haven't drummed up the nerve to contact the client to tell her this is ready. I spent all day Saturday just matting it and getting it ready for delivery (without frame, since she is going with me to framer). This is my first commission with a person who is not close to me, not a total stranger, but a relative of a friend.
I was not prepared for how daunting delivering a finished piece is, more so than actually completing the portrait!!! I'll call her today - later today........
