This was the final portrait which I did for Christmas. The painting is of a friend's brother and his girlfriend. I think that it is the strongest of the paintings which I spent December doing and I believe that to be a direct result of 'team work'. Britta, the above mentioned friend, came over when I was almost finished with the painting and we spent an hour (at least) 'fixing' things. She has an amazing eye and was able to spot things/ imperfections which I didn't. And I, thankfully, and able to add a bit of blush to a cheek, darken very light eyes or add a bit more shadow to a nasal labial fold without killing the whole painting (much harder than it sounds).
So, for future projects I hope to inlist her help... just to iron out the final little 'wrinkles'.
Of course it always helps to have stunning people to paint!
