Here it is - hope it's done....




It feels like I made lots of little changes. If nothing else, this is teaching me better how to look and SEE things.....

Take a look, let me know what you think. I'm tired, going to sleep, will check back later.....

Ditto. The adjustments are great. The extra tiny gleam in her eye adds a lot. You went from fantastic to perfect.

Ready to go....

Thanks! It's framed and ready to put in the private school's auction as a portrait sample.

Wish me luck....this will be the third charity auction in as many months.
I offered (and am offering) a 25% off coupon for the winning bidder.
The other two coupons have had takers, but haven't heard from anyone yet.

Hi Julie! I am new here and I didn't feel comfortable putting in my two cents (or less) worth. I have however, been watching the thread and I couldn't resist telling you those last few minor changes you made to the eyes made a huge difference. The portrait was stunning and beautiful to begin with fo course, but the final little touches really enhanced its beauty. I really admire this piece. Good luck with the auction!
