Are We There Yet???

This is pretty much how the color comes through. I was lucky to have sunlight this morning to get a decent photo. I 've reached the stage where I am doing more intense scrutiny rather than painting. [That's one of the reasons I like to work on several at once.]  I think a touch of careful darkening on  the outside of the left eye and just above the curvature of the jaw ...  maybe a bit more work on the pillars ... intensifying the eyes??? And I think I'd better get another sketch on the board to paint!!!

As always, your comments are most welcome!

    Oh this is beautiful Kathryn!! Such a thoughtful, introspective expression! Bravo kathryn, you have done wonderful emotive work here. I'd leave it alone, sign it and throw yourself a party. :)
