I think it is an amazing job! Skin is challenging enough, but to "get" the ink so well is incredible. I bet she is pleased with it!

There is only one distracting element in the painting for me as I study it, and that is the lock of hair on the shadow side of her neck, which unfortunately fits right into a crease that occurs naturally in the flesh. I might have left that lock of hair out, as it appears to bisect that area a little. But that is just a little thing. I find this a very personal and striking portrait!
