My favorite part has to be the way you painted the thing she's wearing under the blue shirt. It is so delicate and detailed, and just wonderfully rendered, in spite the fact that it's barely visible. A lovely touch.
Thank you very much. The photograph of course takes a little bit away from the sense of it as being actual fabric, but it comes through ok here. To me it feels like it makes the whole thing a little bit more human, somehow.
