Wow, this is so gorgeous! I always marvel at your life like portraits. Her beautiful eyes are my favorite part. They are so full of feeling. These types of subtle expressions are so difficult for me to capture but it's unbelievable how soft and gentle she looks just from the way you rendered her eyes. The highlights in them along with the soft shade of green are just perfection. And really her whole face is beautifully done. I really love how you played with light here. It looks like she's near a window in the early morning because there's this amazingly soft, pale playing on her skin, hair and clothes. I just love to see your process for creating skin tones as well. It's so alive! Amazing work as always!

Astounding likeness Paul! I just love how she glows all over. The hair effect you've done is perfection. Im so jealous! you just keep upping your game! You should be so proud and feel accomplished with this lovely piece. If Loretta was alive, she'd want this hanging in her home for sure!
