I have been softening the shadows, actually I have almost repainted the face.

Hi Allan! I like this version much better, it's more true to her.

Much better, Allan. Softer and richer.

Beautiful

Hi Allan,

Wow, this is just beautiful. And you have captured her likeness so well. This portrait seems to have a lot of feeling. And I think your background and flowers you have painted are actually prettier than the greenery in the photographs.

Joan

Thank you Ladies,

I am happy with the result for now, and will try to get the other two portraits of Camilla finished.

We are having family visiting for the next week so it may take some time before I come back with something.

I will probably be undertaking some more portraits of the family during this week, by taking some photos.

Thank you again for your help and encouragement.

Allan

Allan, I like these paintings very much. They have a convincing and fresh outdoor feel to them. And your daughter is beautiful!
