Thanks for your kind words, Linda. Actually, Rosa really likes the painting, and that makes me pretty happy! She walks past it and says "That's Rosa!" several times a day. I think she was happy to beat out her sister, who is still unfinished (the painting, that is).

Regarding the bisection of the arm, well, yes I did that. I realize it's a rule, but I didn't think it was a big whup at the time. Now I wish I'd made her a little smaller so I could have fit her whole arm on the canvas.

I didn't mention it before, but I should really give thanks to Chris Saper. I just got her book and it made this a LOT easier than it would have been! I have been struggling to find and maintain "fresh" flesh colors and Chris' advice was indispensible.
