Congratulations its perfect! You should post the eye close-up too -its stunning!

[Elizabeth Schott]

Oh thanks Eric... here's the eye.

It's amazing how things go a bit smoother when you really know your sitter!

Beth this is fabulous, great color and such strong paint handling! Enter this one in all the contests!

[Alexandra Tyng]

Well, Beth, I will definitely be able to recognize you now when I see you. I will be the one asking you to just turn to the side...just a little more...yes!

I love the pose. It gives you an inquisitive look. You have almost given me enough courage to post my self-portrait. (Almost but not quite.)

There's so much wonderful color in the skin and lively brushwork. Thanks for posting the closeup--that area around the eye is especially full of colorful lights, and fascinating to see up close.

Just gorgeous Beth! Wow!

[Marina Dieul]

gorgeous!
The close up of the eye really impressed me: the subtlety of the colors is fantastic. I love those blue. I like the background too, it really adds a dimension.
