Amanda,
I am not qualified to critique anyone's work but I had to write to tell you about my first impression. Something told me this wasn't painted from a photo, and what ever it is, I like it and I hope to get it someday.
Now I have a question for you. Could you post some close ups? I am especially interested in a close up of the eye and the temple area in the light.
For what it is worth, I like it........a lot!

Welcome to the Forum, Amanda!
I think this is an exceptionally beautiful and sensititve painting and I am really excited to see this kind of finish and depth on a painting done from life on the Forum. In addition to posting closeups, can you also tell us what colors you used, any medium, and any other information about your working procedures?

I love this. The lighting is so dramatic and the shadows just perfect.

Wonderful Amanda, this has such a nice old world/Renaissance feel to it.

Thanks so much for your extremely warm and positive criticism. I am trying to post a close up and hope to do it by this evening (I live in Sweden and only have a few hours of daylight, so must rush off and paint now!)
Regards
Amanda

Thanks for the positive response.....I will try to work out how to post a close up. I have to go into photoshop and experiment a little! So might take a little while.
