AHHH! I see now. Thanks, Cynthia!

Alicia,

My 2 year old has two poses for pictures. The first is the "Don't aim that thing at me again!" The other is a huge big tooth smile! Neither is appropriate for our chosen sport! The painting is really beautiful, but I still miss a little of the roundness of this face. It could just be a distortion of the computer monitor though. I always run a piece of inkjet transparency through my printer with a print out of the reference photo at the same size as the face on the canvas and lay it over my completely dry painting (messed up a pretty good painting by not waiting long enough once). You can see right through and correct slight differences that you ordinarily would not notice! They sell it at Office Max in Hammond.

Happy Painting!
Rebecca
