Linda -
Thank you for that info on the ABS vs. the gessoed board! This helps a lot.
Seeing that close up I am wowed by the freckles - those look great. I have never been able to get freckles to look so real.

Gosh, I was never this cute. Anyway, this girl is around twelve or thirteen, and this is approximately what I looked like at her age:
(Thanks again, everybody, for the nice comments on the painting!)

This is a really beautiful painting. I would love to see it "in person."

Well, shoot.... I looked away for a minute and you came up with this! I think it's fantastic. Maybe my favorite of yours so far.

Linda,
If THIS is what you looked like at thirteen, all I can say is that I would have killed to have the honor of painting your portrait. How often time and fate consire to rob us of opportunity. It would have been a portfolio piece no one would have forgotten.

Linda, thanks for the close up - you even have those nostrils rolling back... good form! 
Now stay away from that Wayne's World site!

I'm Not Worthy!
Most excellent painting, eh?
*ahem* Excuse me.
Seriously, Linda - this is wonderful stuff: A portrait, allegory, decorative and whimsical piece all rolled into one. And, it's just darned nice to look at.
Thanks for the tech info (didn't know you used Maroger) as well as the closeup. Process is important to the success of any portrait, so an inside look at a successful piece is always welcome.
I looked like Wayne at 13. Well, no - maybe more like the guy in the back seat of the Gremlin during "Bohemian Rhapsody" who says "I love you man!!" all the time.
