Steve,
Wow! This is great! I am amazed at how helpfull all this is to me.

Calla lillies is right.

And I want you to know how much I appreciate your suggestions. I feel this is one of my best portraits to date, but I also realize there are some things that are just plain distracting in it from her face and expression. I am going to read your suggestions with painting in hand and think about what I might do to simplify the areas around her.

I think the nose is accurate. She is German/gypsy descent, whose ancestors migrated north from Morocco across Spain to Germany. Very unusual, exotic beauty.

Thanks again for your comments.
Sandra
