I didn't want to be the first to respond, but for some reason people seem to want to soak up this painting for a while before posting.

I think you've painted a lovely portrait, and the colors look like something from the Louvre. Her eyes are very nicely painted. You've included a minimum of detail, yet given maximum information. Bravo!

But I do see two problems. First, her ear looks rather large. You might want to double check it, and even if it's correct, it could use down-playing.

Second, the back of her head seems elongated. Look at the painting and try to picture the underlying skull. It seems a bit stretched out.

But I must say, I love your palette, brushwork, and expressive abilities.

Jeff
