Hi Beth,
This portrait is stunning and provocative. What a fascinating face! You have captured so many thoughts and emotions going on in her eyes alone. There's a childlike quality and a powerful mature beauty that coexist in the most fascinating way.
I love the modeling of the form, the turquoise sweater, the oddly-draped beads (such a realistic touch), the way you suggested her mane of hair, and the slight tilt of her head. Everything!
Alex

I already commented on another forum, but wanted to say it again - just beautiful Beth. I bet your daughter is thrilled.

Beth, I think this my favorite of yours so far. It is fresh and honest, and painterly.

Oh thank you guys so much! She will be so tickled to see these responses!
Marcus my photography of my work is the pits, but there is a bit more definition in the shoulders that might have been lost.
Jean thank you for noticing the brushwork - I have been working hard on this. I'm sneaking an extreme close-up in, so hopefully you can see it better.
Kim, 
Thanks again, Beth

Beth, this is beautiful. I'm loving the color in this. And I can't believe how grown up your daughter looks!

Beth,
I think she is perfect. I could not find anything to critcise in this exquisite and touching piece. Her face is luminous.

I can't believe how young she looks at the same time. My daughter at 16 was a shuddering mess. She was lovely before and wonderful since. Glad you seem to have missed the awfulness. Janet

Beth--
I saw this in progress on another forum, loved it then, love it now. It's just luminous. My favorite of yours yet!

I like the loosely painted auburn hair, and the contrast of the cool tourqoise blouse against the warmer, greyed green background. Nice job Beth.
