Hi Jean,

Convince you? Oh-oh! Well. . .I think the way you have it, the hands look cut off. In other words it says to me, "She can't paint hands." Now of course I know that is not the case!

I tend to see portraits in terms of certain groupings. There's the "head-and-shoulders," or "head-and-upper-body" which takes in the torso. But when you get down near the hands, it seems odd not to put them in. But honestly, Jean, everybody's got their own way of looking at it. That was just my reaction.
