I lightened the area between nose and lip on the right side. I thought it looked like she had a very strange one sided 5:00 shadow:-) Oil on canvas 16 x 20
Artist Reply: Thank you as always. And you know what? I even like this one.I very rarely say that I'm satisfied with any piece, however, having that type of attitude towards one own work, also helps one to go further and take chances. OK it's a paint by number pic:-) Just joking. Take care and thank you again, Jude
Most excellent, powerful and portrait! Great colors, stong contrast and expression!
Artist Reply: Jerry,Once again thank you for your kind words. It's amazing how I seldom like my own work, however, this painting, I'm actually pleased with the results. The intensity of the expression leaves one to interpret it in many different ways.
