Beautiful Dutch girl, no earring

[Michele Rushworth]

Can you imagine if paintings in museums or galleries had little tags on them like "had to re-do ear six times" or "the nostrils were impossible"?

This I'd like to see!

Thanks Brenda. Too funny! I wasn't really discouraged, I think I know what I'm in for with this whole portraiture thing. You know the real irony of what you said: not only can you not draw attention to the fact that you repaint the ear 6 times, you must make it look like once was effortless and that the nostrils were a cinch. Thanks for the encouragement anyway, and good luck on your endeavor.

Well, here she is again. Let me know how I did. I really REALLY knocked myself out on those two or three square centimetres!

Thanks, Janet
