Hearkening
This is kind of a different subject for me -- she's in her mid nineties.

This will be a treasure for her family. I also think the soft lighting you used is perfect for this subject.

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.
