Thank you Julie for your comments.
I used a portrait grade linen that I ordered double oil primed from New York Central Art Supply (1-800-950-6111). They stretched the canvas for me as well. The surface was great to work on. I don't have the name handy, but I think I asked for their finest grade and that is what I got.
The lips really are too red. They are not quite sooo red in the painting but now that you mention it, I see they real did need more toning down. I guess I got so caught up in the expression I wasn't paying attention to the color.
The haircut is actually softer than the real thing. I did my best to soften a very severe bowl-cut, but perhaps a little more artistic license would have improved it! Ah well, next time.
Thanks again,
Lara
