[Janet Kimantas]

This is probably the largest portrait that I've ever painted (18x24) and I've gotten myself stuck. The question is whether to bring it all to the same degree of finish as the face, or to do a better job of vignetting it. And then there's the background... I would love some fresh eyes on it all.

Also I'm wondering if this painting has crossed the line from portrait to figurative, and where exactly is that line anyway?

Thanks a lot, Janet
