Well, she's almost done. I thought I would post again for your advice. I usually see more when it is up here, and your critiques help me too. I can see that the shape of her forehead is still not right. I need to darken the top (our) right crown of her hair. I had darkened the hair on our right but I did not like it. Her face is so soft (and I think it needs to stay that way for fear of me ruining what she and her mom and my son already like) that when I darkened the hair it kind of overwhelmed her face.

I chickened out doing the hand, every attempt on sketch paper and on this piece didn't read well. Maybe because not much of the hand is showing in the portriat and I am not the greatest with "suggesting" the hand.

Anyone have any ideas for matting and framing this piece? It is Stonehenge, a grayish blue color.

Thank you for your help.

Michelle, I will get the name of the book when I go home today. It is a great, great book to read. It is Leonardo's letters and lectures to his students. I just love reading it. I know you would like it...
