Terri, this is really beautifully painted, with lots of touches that tell the viewer that you really know what you're doing (i.e., that necklace and its shadow is wonderful, for example). You have a fine, soft touch with children. Congratulations on another success!

Kim, Garth, David, Rob--Thanks! After repainting her face so many times, it is so good to be done with this. . . and I'm encouraged that you think she came out alright 
Cynthia, Thanks! If you can get a good crop and would like to do that, please feel free. (You might find it goes a little flat without that dark burgundy area off the left side though. . .)
Linda, thanks for noticing the locket. That's the last detail added, just this morning-- the client really wanted it included, but it didn't show in the primary reference (it hung too far down behind her arm) so I had to 'borrow' it from a different photo and fudge it a bit.
Thanks again!

You took the lemons and made lemonade. No one looking at this painting would ever have guessed you struggled at all. Beautifully done.
