Linda,
Sorry for being remiss. No, it's not an outdoor shot, but I selected it for the look, and then really exploited it. There were three kids in the shot, all with that lovely back lighting. Lots of practice for me! You asked in another thread what was on my palette and I never got back to you. Short answer: no cadmiums. I pretty much phased them out years ago doing illustration and then banished them last year from my oil painting palette when I started doing portraits. This was long before I knew of the deep divide that can exist on the issue!
Janet

Cute kid - nice painting. But I don't see a reference photo posted?

Julie, hi, sorry. It seems that some people can see the reference photo and some can't. I have resaved it from the original and will post it again. I noticed the first one was CMYK instead of RGB, so perhaps that was the problem. Thanks for taking a look, anyway.
Janet

Hooray! I see it now. You certainly did a great job on the likeness. I see the hair now though I don't think it's bad to make small adjustments just like you have done. Thanks for posting that.

Hi Janet,
Don't change anything in the portrait, but now that you've posted the photo reference, I notice some details, It might be some camera distortion, but her face looks longer in the reference. I think it's some camera distortion because you did such a good job.
Congrats!

Claudemir, how gallant of you to jump in and blame my tools before I did! However, there are some drawing issues with her jaw, and her nose and the eye on the right are positioned slightly off. Add the extra chubby cheeks and...bingo. Thanks for liking it anyway.
Piety, Lacey, Margaret, Carol, Linda, Garth, Julie, Lisa: Thanks so much for taking the trouble and encouraging me along. What a great site!

The reference photo is visible using Safari as the browser. It is not visible using IE or Netscape.
Everybody get a Mac!

Update: Okay Janet, your reposted image below works on IE, and Netscape!
