I keep being pulled in to look at her face, Terri. You have managed her expression and her skin wonderfully well and I love the carefully painted soft edges. Congratulations!

Terry,

Just lovely.

Frontal lighting is just perfect for 'ladies of a certain age'. It is difficult to paint because of its subtlety, but you have handled it beautifully.

Terri,
You did such a great job with this. It's absolutely beautiful. I love the sweetness and dignity you've portrayed here. I keep coming back to look at her face.

Hi Sharon-- The soft light did flatter her. . . tried to milk as much from the value and temperature shifts as possible to make it work -- Thanks!

Thanks Kim! I did want to show that. She had such a complex mix of emotion in her expression though, not sure I caught it all. . .

Just another dimension of what you're capable of, Terri. You've captured her beauty, even at that impressive age. Very fine work!

Hi Terri,
I also think that you did a fine and honest job portraying this lady. It tells so much about her.

My mother is almost that old and I try to snap a photo of her now and then, but she is unwilling to pose so I did not succeed yet.

Terri,
when I saw your painting I stoped thinking about technique, lighting etc.. I just though about grace and emotion. Thank you for sharing this.

Terri,

Such a lovely job. The background is just perfect to support the graceful sense of movement.
