Holly, it's so good to see your work back on the Forum. This is a very beautiful painting - I can tell that you're getting much softer edges with oil than you did with acrylics.

Two things I especially like about this painting are your Mother's hair and her facial expression.

I personally dislike burnt sienna in flesh tones (try Gamblin's Transparent Red Oxide instead) but you've managed this well.

What a wonderful Mother's Day gift!
