Ardith,
This is one of the loveliest portraits I have ever seen and is masterful in every respect. You deserve all the attention this is generating, and all Forum artists benefit and grow by your sharing of this masterpiece.
Congratulations,
Garth

This portrait would have been wonderful without the roses, but with them, it is magnificent. Simply breathtaking.

Ardith, can you post closeups? And can you tell us about your working methods and your palette colors?

I'd like to second Linda's request for info on your methods and palette. This one deserves serious study Ardith. Just beautiful. Your love for your daughter just shines through.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I am posting a few closeups--they are a bit soft. I use the following palette:
Flake White
Ivory Black
Prussian Blue
Ult. Blue
Raw Sienna
Yellow Ochre
Cad yellow Med.
Cad Orange
Cad Red Light
Alizarin Crimson
Burnt Sienna
Raw Umber
Burnt Umber
Sap Green
It usually takes 3 layers to get things looking like I want them to. I don't glaze. I use a medium of stand oil and Gamvar. I spray in between layers with retouch varnish when needed.
Thanks again for all of your kind words.
Ardith

Oh, that looks a little weird how those pictures posted! It looks like she's got a short stubby arm! Please ignore that! I cropped these pics from a larger photo.
