Third Session with portrait- Ava Dawn...12"x 9" oil on linen

Difficult being satisfied with just the right adjustments on photoshop to get every color and value right here.  Might have to retake photo of work outside, but it is fairly close...

I tweaked anatomy...pushed values and color, worked on hair, added a barrette, worked on garment...and believe I'm very near finishing...at least in concept and aim where I wanted enough sense of realism in an abstract environment...which I think I have accomplished.  This is a gift for my wife...as we add to a wall of her painting that of her grandchildren.  We will add more paintings of course as the vision of our own son's expand.  Hee heee..  Three or four years, and it will be Addison's turn... 8^)

This is Jason and Kat's younger daughter...just a beautiful spirited little girl, who loves to dance!!!
