I painted this from a reference photo. I really enjoyed observing the different hues of her skin. Comments and critiques welcome.
It's in oil on 16x12in, 40x30cm canvas.

Such a nice balance of loose brush strokes while retaining what seems to be an accurate representation of her features - beautiful!

That's very kind of you, Jim - much appreciated. It's curious about the red as I noticed it too, but only after taking the photo! I agree with you and will adjust.

Great brushwork and wonderful style!  The skin tones and color harmony are terrific -- in my humble opinion.  And, I really like the halo effect around her hair.

There is one little dab of red on the bridge of her nose.  It's not a problem for me, and a touch of red in that area seems fine, but I wonder if it appears to be too much of a line rather than an element of color.  Minor issue.
