It's not easy to paint faces but you've captured a lovely expression.  Well done.

Thank you for your kind comments.  I used burnt umber and phthalo blue for the background thinned down with turps and linseed oil.  Then I spashed clean turps lightly onto the canvas (the white spots) and then paint to get this effect.

The background treatment helps to bring her forward without distraction

Like the background, love the drawing! like that it's fresh and original - not cloying!
