Patty, this is absolutely gorgeous. I love it!!!

What a privilege and a challenge to paint such a beautiful little girl!

I notice how soft and glowing the light is on the left side of her face. I would seek to bring out that light and keep the edges soft to capture the glow. The light on the hair is important too.

Thanks, Carol, I needed the boost!!
Thanks you Mary, I will work on the glow, believing it will come in the later stages. Right now I tell myself none of the magic is painted in yet, that it will come in the last stages i.e. highlights, etc. I have yet to really paint the hair. I can't wait till it dries so I can work on it some more!

Hi Patty,

Nice start: can't wait to see it complete!

[Bruce Johnson]

Very nice start Patty.. one small thing that my also add to the painting is if you add a little touch of cad orange to the inside of her right nostril it will give the impression of light showing through transparent skin.. its just a small thing but I find it really adds to the impact. I also add a little al crimson and ultra marine blue to the depths of the nostrils.

Cheers Bruce

Thanks, Julie and Bruce. I can't wait till it dries so I can go back into it!
