I keep returning to Gabby's face to make extremely fine adjustments and am pleased with it for the first time since starting her portrait. The arms and hands need further development, while the kimono may need adjustments following the completion of the hydrangea background.



It has been a busy summer, but I have found some hours to invest in Acacia's portrait. I put a lot of work into the mountainous background as well as perfecting some subtle details in her face and further developing her hair.
