I've had this done for a while, but couldn't post it because it was a Christmas present for Mark and Jody. It would be weird to see your Christmas present before you even opened it!
Maribelle and family were visiting, and she was buried under the quilt. She has a killer smile, one so big you think her face will break, and curls that won't quit. This was done on Strathmore 80 lb again, for a smooth quality in the skin.
I was trying the "great white shape" on this one, something I need practice at. Is it noticeable?The shape originally went on the sheet in front of her, included her hands, came up off the page at her hand on the left, over the quilt behind her arm, up her neck and curls, taking in part of her face, coming off at the top of her head, down the curls on the right, and skipping around the quilt off the right side of the page.

Hi Chris,
What a gorgeous Christmas gift! And I'm glad the great white shape is not visible - only a skelteton under in the painting holding it together. Excellent unity in this painting.
