It's a most lovely and wonderfully executed piece, Lon. You may have taken a break from oils, but somewhere back there you obviously had them all worked out. You've masterfully handled the foliage -- my weakness, still, owing to the least time spent on it. It looks like the subject's granddad must be pretty enamored of her, and the fact that he so lovingly did the painting will greatly enhance its value as heart's treasure. Well done -- what a gifted fellow you are.
