Thanks, everybody, for your comments on this one. I delivered it yesterday and the client was very happy.

I don't like to put images on my website 'til the clients have seen the paintings and approved them. Also, Cynthia is out of town so it may be a while before this painting and the Shauna one are up on my site.

I wouldn't say it was a breeze to paint. What gave me the most trouble was the slight angle of the head. After I got a protractor and measured the angle of the main face axis (it was four degrees off of vertical) things went much more easily. I had been subconsciously trying to make everything squared up to perfectly vertical and horizontal and that put all the features out of alignment. Once I got out my level and plumb line and started using the protractor, everything fell into place.
