Greetings, Enzie,

You're right on about that left eyelid. It certainly goes flat across the top. Makes it look as though the eyeball is slightly squished! Also the left cheek/neck comments are very well taken. That area hasn't been really worked yet, and I knew there were things to be done there when I posted this. At this stage I found I was just lifting the previous paint layer when I tried to scumble over it, so I've decided to let it dry some more before getting back to that area.

We don't have very much time into this one at this point. We spent several hours on Wednesday painting in different backgrounds, and Rose thought the relatively simple, dark background looked best. The colors are way off as I look at it on this computer. Too red! I'll make corrections based on your thoughts and repost the revised version. All the highlights are really painted in very cool colors, but I don't see that here. I think I'll scan it on the machine with the scanner, but bring it over to the one with the LCD screen to proof it for the next post.

Thanks for the help, Enzie.

John
