Pas de problema.

Vianna,

This is a really lovely head with very wonderful warm color.

I always feel, just before I post or exhibit, that my work is the silliest, most incompetent piece of garbage that anyone would dare to show. I think this is because we are aware of all the places we have struggled with and are not sure we have won. They are filed away in our minds like memory chips.

A few minor areas, I would revist, the tip of the nose looks a bit too big and flat, but I don't know your subject. A touch of refinement might seem in order. The sweep of the green garment could go from a slightly lighter green to a darker green to push the right shoulder back a bit, very delicately though. I think the area to the left, the shoulder area , needs to be lighter, stronger and more simplified to come forward. I am not sure, I like that arbitrary line coming off the hair to the left.

These are just some small suggestions. You should have every confidence in this piece.
