Image seven

Sam_5636

Now the spirit of the sweet girl is beginning to shine through, even though I still have some adjusting to do on the features.  Her features are soft and beautiful so I must adjust the skin tones and eyes to reflect this.  When people ask me how I achieve a good likeness, this is my answer:  The mouth shows the expression and the eyes reveal the spirit.  Dear Andrea will soon be out of her teen years.  I’m sure her maturity will reflect some changes since I met her.  Andrea,  I hope you can still appreciate and enjoy this memory we have of you.  I have two more images to show you.  I have not yet signed the portrait.  I will probably post the last image and then sign it.  Hugs and love, Diana
