I love those eyes! And I love her small smile -- she just looks so relaxed and sweet and above all -- so genuine and real. She's not putting on a fake smile, or trying to look tough -- she just looks like a lady being herself. It's great!





I love the painterly feel in your art, and especially here -- there's an extra bit of roughness to the colors, especially the shadows, that gives them a bit more texture, a bit more lifelike "imperfection" -- in other worse, her skin isn't just perfectly smooth, it has texture like real skin has and it makes her look extra lovely.



Beautiful portrait!
