I found this image on public domain listing... Would welcome comments and critique.

I haven't painted in a long time.... been super busy (working full time and college for bachelor's degree full time._

This was smudge painted using CS. I am not sure that it is "done". I am thinking of adding more textured strokes over the canvas a bit.

Thank you, Tofu. You were the only one to pick that up so far, and it was the part I worked on hardest to get right! Laughing

Delia,I like the "classic" look and feel of this painting. I share Tofu's view on the lighting and the soft and tender mood it creates when combined with the smooth quality of your brush strokes.

That's beautiful, Delia! And I agree with the above. The lighting change was an excellent choice and very well done. I like yours much better than the original. I love the feeling of this piece!

you were smart to simplify and omit the detail of textures on the clothing and bedding - it softens it nicely and let's the eyes rest.

check the big toe is all that stands out to me.
