Hi again. This is the ref we are going with. I'm happy because of all the wonderful colors in her skin, and the expression on her face. Eyes are highlighted very nicely. I didn't like the posed look of her hands, so I went with a cropped version.
I'll be bringing the background trees up, but they will be very loose. My only concern right now is the post. I like the variation of texture and the strong vertical, but may not be able to pull it off in paint. So wish me luck, or doom me to failure!

I forgot to mention, I'm removing the tree on the left and replacing that area with more leaves. Also, the area of her hair the "kisses" the post will changed..............must have no tangents, must have no tangents, must have no tangents (repeat to self twenty times a day).
