Terri,
Love it!! I also love the little theme you've got going with children doing their thing.
I went to the Chicago Art Institute a few weeks ago and there is a painting that has a violin in it that caught my attention. It is hanging in the same room as a JSS so you can imagine the pull it had to have to get me to look in its direction. Anyway, I just wanted to say that your violin would have the same pull. Beautiful!!
One more thing, your model is a doll.

Hi Michele-- Thanks! I sure hope the client agrees...  Sent her an email tonite that it's ready for her to review... I'm feeling bolstered by the response here, but always get so nervous at this stage.
Thanks Janel! Incorporating the kids interests has made things more interesting, I think...

Terri,
Make a printed copy of all these extra favorable comments to present your client. They will be thrilled with the Forum response!
I am suggesting this, because I did this myself recently when I unveiled "A Connecticut Girl: Laura at Thirteen". The parents and grand-parents were just beside themselves with excitement over the great Forum responses.
By the way, I evidently failed to mention this portrait is also my favorite of yours. 
Garth

I love the way you handled her head. Very sensitive.

Terri, this is just exquisite. Her face is rendered in such a beautiful, sensitive manner. And I like the direct gaze; there's much more communication between the subject and the viewer that way. I agree that this is your best portrait yet. Brava!
