John,

Thanks for your kind critique. My father will be thrilled to learn that you agree with him about the mouth! Tessa wears braces and I tried to tone down the distortion they cause by minimizing the shadow under her lower lip. I'm kind of stumped about what else to do. I hadn't thought about centering the subject better on the canvas; that's something I'll look at more carefully. I've been focusing more on the impressionistic treatment of her shirt as not being a good idea. This is the first time I've blended a subject's shoulders into the background and I was wondering if I just should have handled them realistically.
