Thanks to everyone for the positive response!

Marvin--I really appreciate this affirmation. She is a special child and I wanted to get the countenance right.

I'm trying to get away from formulaic color and paint with more nuance, turning form with color as well as value. (Everything is a little more sensitive in the original painting.) Aspects of The Palette have helped a lot with this.

Best--TE
