Alexandra, thank you so much for your kind words, I need all the encouragement I can get! I must agree that the likeness in this painting is pretty close. This is due, I'm sure, to the fact that I did a lot of measuring with a pair of proportional dividers, a method which I find works better for me than any of the other methods of copying a photo. Also, knowing one's subject well can't hurt, either!
