Progression of miniature

Today I worked on the three and one half inch high portrait of my youngest daughter. I developed a three dimensional effect on the skin, modified the hair, reset the position of the eyes and teeth and buffed lightly. It is much more difficult to keep the skin tones smooth in tiny portraits than in the larger ones. My doctor prescribed a mild med to help with my tremor but I forgot to take it so I was trying to compensate for that as I worked. Even so, the likeness is exciting. I went into this project with only moderate expectations but I am very pleased with the way they are turning out. My attitude is, ‘If you want to do something you have never done before, just pray, and then try it! You may be pleasantly surprised!’
