Wow, very, very nice, did'nt realize it was pastel until I read it. I'm going to go look for it in the WIP area to see it come to life. Once again, great job!

Jenni,
This is wonderful! Congratulations. I think the background you chose is absolutely perfect. I love the way you handled the skin tones. It looks like Marvin Mattleson's palette for pastels! (That is a compliment!) Again, beautiful work, full of care and sensitivity.

This is really beautiful. I love the color you chose for the background. It sets off her eyes so nicely!

Oh, thanks everyone, your comments mean a great deal to me. I finally had to stop hesitating about the background and just jump in to finish this piece.

Garth , I thought I'd save the stripes for the next one!
