Thank you Steven, Karin, and Lon!!
I really appreciate the input here...This portrait is an older one...nonetheless, I will take to heart the advice given, and keep it in the back of my mind as I work on the next one.
Steven, my husband IS set up to Photoshop this, so I'll have to ask him to "tweak" the colors for me...I'll let you know how it looks with color changes. It's funny you mention her hands...I drew the subject's fraternal twin Janie just before this one, and their mother asked me to tone down the realism in Janie's hands! I'll have to submit that one here so you can see what they were like before adjustment...I took the picture of the drawing before smoothing the hands, but not after. Thanks agin for the kind and helpful words!
