Hand too small?

[Barbara Mae Hudson]

Hello everyone!

I am having a little trouble with this portrait.

It is still very much a work in progress but I am hoping to finish it within the next week because the subect is leaving to live in Paris very soon.

As you will see, I have had to make some changes to her hands in the reference photo, for obvious reasons. I don't like having to use quess work but I went ahead anyway.

I feel that the hand on top is too small......do you agree?

I am also toying with the idea of placing something in her hand....any ideas?

Also, any other suggestions will be gratefully received.

Thanks for looking.

Barbara
