Finished!

Sophia is finished and ready to frame.  While I still see things I think should be altered, it's time to stop.  I really admire all the wonderful portraiture artists out there who can whip these things out without stopping. I have found this painting to be challenging.  While I do believe I captured the essence of Sophia, it certainly is not a dead ringer for her, she is much more beautiful.

Today warmed up and we lost all our hard earned snow.  It has been raining off and on.  Our next few days are supposed to stay warmer.
