Sorry to reply late to this one. Very nicely done, especially with the girl's expression, she looks cute and up to mischief. The composition is perfect, the colors have a nice flow as it moves across the painting.

Struggled
Terri, glad we can't see that you struggled. Folks of this skin tone are tricky aren't they? I'm sure they liked the piece.

Hey there Tim!
It is a tricky skin tone,so softly colored it wants to look gray, and her face being so in shadow made it difficult to find the right balance value and saturation-wise. Still not sure it's 'right' and have had a hard time getting a jpeg that shows it the way it looks in real life... (I've got a good Paint Shop Pro image, but it loses something converting to the jpg...) 
The client's on vacation and won't see it until next week. So guess that's when I'll really know if I've hit it right!

Thanks Garth! (or is it Jerome??)
We caught that same little mischievous half smile in several of the shots from the original reference shoot, so I had a pretty good idea that it was a characteristic expression for this little girl. The attempted reshoot for better lighting was tagged onto the tail end of a photo session for her brother... not the best idea!

Couldn't help myself...
After finishing her brother and trying them side by side... I just had to freshen the colors in her face a bit.
OK. I think I'm really done now.
