Terri, I keep looking at this painting trying to figure out how you get (or don't get) your edges. They are so natural and soft. Any tips or hints?
Also, there is a subdued tone to your recent work which I love. Doesn't it also help to have such a cute model as well? Attractive people make great paintings really sing. Now that I think about it, unattractive people who are interesting looking do the same thing. You obviously have the former here.
Finally, you handled the trombone's detail work perfectly.

Very beautiful Terri. Having once tried my hand at a brass instrument I can really appreciate the time and effort that went into this. Very successful I think.

Kim, Janel, Lisa, Cynthia, Mike, thanks so much! How nice to wake up to. . .
Lisa, about edges...? don't know that I've got any great secrets --guess I use a variety of strategies for them --including smudging with a finger (do that a lot!). I save my old brushes and use them for blending, and a thin layer of translucent color spanning a transition also helps to unify things. Probably it helps too that pretty much all of my favorite colors are transparent, with the exception of raw sienna (semi-transparent) and white(opaque).
Thanks again!

Wow!
Dear Terri,
You've blown us all away with your mastery once again (no pun intended). This is delightful; your subject has a magical expression that you've caught. I can't imagine your clients being anything but thrilled with your success. the intergeneational aspect of your portrait is touching, and the engraving is beautifully rendered on the trombone.
Garth
