Hmmm! Something about the right eye (her left) just doesn't seem right and I don't know why. You've obviously put the highlight reflections in as you saw them but they don't look balanced to me and it gives the appearance of the eye looking inward.
I hate to comment like this because I'm a fan of your work and I would be doing you a disservice not to mention it.
thanks everyone.... it means a lot to have the feedback.
john, i think you're right! i adjusted the right eye.. to make it look more 'even' with the other. you are SO kind to point that out. sometimes...we don't see the plain mistakes.. right in front of our eyes~
Don't know why she wouldn't just love it!! Beautifully done and such energy vibrating off her form and hair! I am enjoying seeing your work on the commission, too, from research to sketch to photos to painting :)
hey rhonda.. thanks for your comment. i miss you! hope you are painting up a storm... and enjoying sandy's classes. how are you? ~ carol
hey susan, how is your work? i think of you often.. and working away in the west. i am going to TUSCON in a couple of weeks.. to visit folks from the workshop i met you in... i wish you were closer and we could see each other. i'll check out your blog for your new work!
this beautiful little girl was a recent commission for me. she was a delight to paint... and i hope she's pleased.
Gorgeous! Love the complexion... and those eyes! Yup - gorgeous!
