Mike,
This is quite good. The light striking the face is very believable and although I don't like teeth in a portrait, you've managed to do it in a professional way: played down, not greeting card like. The edges of her dress and hair are also nicely handled. I like the unfinished look with the ground visible below. The clients must have been very pleased.
I look forward to seeing the large portrait of Morgan.

Thanks everyone for your kind reponses. I was so charged after reading your responses that I am anxious to get back to work.
The painting was very well received from the client. It is so gratifying as an artist to be able to use a little "creativity" in a commissioned piece.This partricular type of lighting is something I have wanted to try for some time now.
Scott - I started the painting of Morgan last week. This painting is very challenging for me considering that it is an outdoor piece. I think I'll post it in the critiques section before it's complete to get some much needed guidance here.

Mike,
I somehow missed this beautiful portrait. Your handling of the dress is very effective as are all the many choices you made.

Mike & Armin:
Thank you both for your generous response. I wasn't sure initially how such strong lighting would work on such a young face but the painting has been well received. This painting has opened several doors of opportunity of which I am most thankful.
I still need that Mike McCarty course on "Photographing Your Paintings Without Glare."
