Chris, it's wonderful! Thanks for posting the closeups.
The first impression is stunning, I think because of the yellow dress, the way her body leads your eye back in space toward the focal point--her head. And the focal point works incredibly well. There is a lot to look at: her luminous eyes, silky hair, earrings, and expression that invites you to take a closer look. Her hand is well modeled, too. I love how you handled the darkness of the interior.

What a beauty, both the model and your interpretation of her
l wonder how many hours you would take to paint her?

Thanks, Margaret!
I think I spent about 40-50 hours of easel time.

Chris, I missed this when first you posted it....very fine work!
The pose and composition are both fresh and not very often seen in commissioned work, and I love the detail of the hand. Congratulations! (40 - 50 hours??!!!)
