Holly,

What a wonderful portrait! Has your sister's mother-in-law seen your rendition? Like Linda, I've heard that rendering skin is much more difficult in acrylic than in oil. How do you handle these challenges in such a quick drying medium?

Did you have to work from photos, or were you able to do some of it from life? I agree with Linda that the background needs to be toned down a bit. It has a tremendous amount of movement that somewhat distracts from the wonderful face of your subject. I love your color pallete, by the way.
