It's 3am and I need to wake up at 7 to get my daughter ready for school so I'll try to make this quick. First, of course, I gotta thank Pat and Lisa for the kind words and hope they, along with everyone else likes the finished(?) product.

Bravo Jimmie,

Beautiful job. I like that you had the color scheme planned from the start and hunted it down so effectively. You paint like a master.

I absolutely love it! The way you use the pastels really appeals to me, it looks so natural and effortless, ( even though you say it isn't),always the sign of an accomplished artist. You have given me the inspiration to carry on trying

Incredibly three dimensional! Beautiful colors. She literally breathes inside the frame. What a delightful way to start my day, to see this portrait, Jimmie!!!

MAN Jimmie! This is the best ever. You are a Pastel Superstar (already)!

Now let's compile your thread into a video tutorial.

Bravo!

Thank you all very much for such kind words.

But.....now that I had some sleep, I don't like the shirt. I like the colors, but not the shapes involved. Meaning the lines that separate the fabric don't look right with the rest of the pic. It bothers me the more I look at it, gotta see how much it bothers me when I get home and study it.

Thanks again. Very grateful for all the encouragement.
