Ooooo........I like it.

Question for you, did you find it easier, or more difficult, to paint her face this size?

I've never tried anything this large, but I do have a few paintings that the face is larger
than life and I found it easier than smaller than life. I'm just curious if I am an odd ball.

(Be nice)

Thank you Janel.

I guess I found it easier in some ways. Perhaps more difficult only to get the changes in skin colors to be as subtle as I wanted at this size. I liked working this large.

Im posting an updated image. As usual, I am never quite done...

I love everything about this portrait. Nice lips, beautiful job on the hair, and you certainly captured a wonderful expression in her eyes.

Kim,
This is great. You look at the painting and then the girl's eyes never let you go. Powerful!
Thanks for posting the oversize portrait. It just convinced me to do a painting I was thinking about

Mark & Richard - thank you, I appreciate it. :)

Richard, I hope you'll share yours when its finished!

I guess this would be little to you, wouldnt it Sharon? Apparently size does matter. ;)
