Almost finished
 

Just tidying up the hair and forearm on this one. A very patient model!

Margaret, this is lovely. You've captured her body gesture well, with just a few strokes.

What a sensitive modelling of the head...love the blue caught in her jaw line. Congratulations on a very lovely piece.

Beautiful Margaret.

You have a very personal way with color. She has a beautiful glow.

One teeny thing, ther neck-line seems a bit sharp, but other than that she is quite exquiste.

Thank you! Much appreciated

The neck line definitely needs softening and the forearm is needing a bit of modelling. Too scared to go near the face, this is the point when it can all go horribly wrong.....

I had to chime is and just say that I too love it, especially the colors and pose!

Thank you. I'm reasonably happy, wondering if she's ready to go out into the world?

Yes and with pride. Lovely.

That's lovely, Margaret. Very competently finished, too!

Thank you, Sharon and Thomasin
Now the worst part, trying to get a decent frame...
