This is the finished painting. When I was almost finished with it I decided it needed something else and I added the leaves for movement and depth.

Oh My! This is fantastic. The hair is amazing. Great work. You should definitely be proud of this.

Thanks. It came pretty close to what I wanted. Now, on to the next one (Five more paintings lined up after this one).

the leaves are a good choice... definitely adds both movement and interest/life. I agree with Joe, definitely be proud of this... its amazingly well done.

Well, let's just go ahead and make this unanimous. I always enjoy looking at your work and this is no exception. Just to bad it takes weeks and months to do a piece like this to only have that first visual impact of a few seconds. Looking forward to the next five or maybe ten more seconds you are working for.

Very kind of you Carl, thanks. I too wish this process could be quicker.

Thank-you, I am pretty happy with it. It's the new standard I have to surpass.
