Cool. There's a soft, feathery (no pun!) quality to the edges that makes it look drybrushed, as though it were pastel instead of oil paint... very interesting.
Artist Reply: I think it has the pastel look because I'm not the world's greatest photographer. I seem to have trouble capturing the true colors. I also photograph the painting before I varnish it to keep the glare down to a minimum. Thanks for commenting.
