Going a little nuts, but hanging in there....




Hi Chris -

Thanks for your note. I am almost ready to post again - I think I've fixed the eyes but that cheek is driving me nuts - first I take a little off, then put a little back, ad nauseum. I'm going to have to stop soon or I am going to mess things up. I did, due to yours and Heidi's encouragement, add a touch more color to the flowers. It will be up in the next hour, I hope.

Here it is - hope it's done....

It feels like I made lots of little changes. If nothing else, this is teaching me better how to look and SEE things.....

Take a look, let me know what you think. I'm tired, going to sleep, will check back later.....

Ditto. The adjustments are great. The extra tiny gleam in her eye adds a lot. You went from fantastic to perfect.

Ready to go....

Thanks! It's framed and ready to put in the private school's auction as a portrait sample.

Wish me luck....this will be the third charity auction in as many months.
I offered (and am offering) a 25% off coupon for the winning bidder.
The other two coupons have had takers, but haven't heard from anyone yet.
