Thanks Daniel and Pam,

This is such a great forum for portrait artists! Daniel, your comments are bang on and WELL appreciated. Although the scan is not good with colors and contrast a bit off, I do understand about bringing the attention more to the face. What I am learning as I go along (which is never ending), is to have more artistic licence. "Don't paint exactly what you see", but to enhance it for the good of the overall composition.

Here is a close up of the portrait you requested Cynthia.

Best regards,
Steve
