Hi Beth,
Thanks a lot, I'd like to visit Cincinnati one day and see it in person.

I love it, Beth,
I love it from the ground color to the lips to therefected color on her face which picks up the sweater and ties it all together. I have read so many great responses which I agree with that I can't remember who said it was your best yet, but I agree! Why couldn't I have looked like that at 16? Or 20? Or 30?

Beth, thanks for posting the WIP--fascinating to see how other people work. I sometimes do something similar with the lines when the face is tilted. It helps me see the proportions better. What colors did you use to mix that lovely neutral green background? Anyway, it's a wonderful and strong piece of work.

Beth, you have made both a beautiful daughter and an equally beautiful painting of her.

Thanks Heidi, she'll appreciate that!
Alex when I work on gesso panel, I love to basically stain the surface. I just put the paint on then wipe it dry. If I want the color different, i just repeat the same process. To add texture I will lightly sand some areas too.
I'll post a super close up of it so you might be able to see something.
I am also going to post the hopefully better non glare image finals. If they look better I'll delete these and replace the above.

Magnificent, Beth.
I look forward to your every new work. Your style is just loose enough, while maintaining a good level of detail. Not to mention, it's got emotional appeal.
Congratulations!

Beth, this is all that has been said it is and more. It shows that you put your all into this one.
Your daughter has such a lovely face. So much character. You must do another. Some of the masters did portraits of the same person a number of times. Have you asked self why? Beth please don
