Self portrait

[Jeanine Jackson]

This is a wonderful double portrait of you and your lucky kitty. I think we may benefit from admitting the center of attention is Snicker's head, and give that little nose a tad more red color and a moisture highlight for the final touch.

Here's my miracle kitty in all her glory.

Thanks Jeanine! Snicker's nose is quite a dark salmon, but I like your idea of adding some moisture. I had considered this painting complete, but I will pull it off the wall and do a little tweaking.

Hello again, All I could see was a chalky face, so decided to make some changes. I picked up zinc white, and a transparent, lovely, warm red (Old Holland napthol). I tried to find a particular Gamblin shade but could not find it in Madison. Anyway, I've started repainting my face and the difference is amazing. It may not be apparent from a photo, but in person it's starting to get that glow. Also changed my hair, it's more true to the actual color. I'm still working on the hands. Thank you Brian for being "picky". I've learned something good.
