Cynthia,

Thanks for your comments. I used a digital camera to photograph then directly placed it on my harddrive. I had to shrink the pixels quite a bit to have the photo accepted by the forum automated process. Any tips on posting better photos as I have a new one I'd like to post?


Brian,
The life-size portrait doesn't have those blotches that are quite obvious on the photo you can see. I was most curious about how you and other accomplished artists would take the intentional loose strokes of the hair and arms. I felt that in the dim light one shouldn't notice the detail a much of these components.


Thanks
