Posting the finished version of Blue Girl. This was such an enjoyable portrait... I enjoyed every minute of it!
Had some recent [mis]adventures with Internet Explorer 8. After downloading the update to IE 8 I had no internet at all! This went on for several days and though I tried every trick I could think of (which wasn't very many) nothing worked. Since I couldn't download another browser (because no web pages would show up) my son burned Firefox onto a CD, we loaded it... and Ta Da! Internet! I never knew what I was missing... I like Firefox much better than IE.... so I guess that was the silver lining in my internet cloud.

Oh Teresa, she is stunning.....what more can I say.
Teresa, Yes! You will find Firefox works better with Blogger, too.
this is a beautiful, beautiful, portrait. She is so sweet and your light touch is wonderful.
Hi Teresa. This is just a beautiful piece. I can see why you would enjoy it so much.
A superb Job.
We had problems with IE8. Nev & I have both Firefox and Google chrome.
These both work well. We do at times switch from one to the other for certain uses.
Wow Teresa, this finished portrait is really fabulous! Beautiful and captivating. You are demonstrating real mastery here with your cps! Congratulations!! I love your control, the evenness of your work across the piece and how you 'did the work'. I can spot shortcuts in cps a mile away and sister, you did the work! :-) It shows! You were very patient to get such lovely even skin tones. Great job on the hair too. Your range of values results in a 3D piece even as you kept the overall effect of the hat and top low key. A lovely interpretation. Again, congratulations, I love it! Well done. :-)
Hi Teresa,
It has really come out good(obviously far better than mine). I was guessing why you have used very light shades for her hat. I am just asking as i don't have much knowledge of colors.
BTW gr8 job done.

Beautiful portrait Teresa,lovely soft hues of colour, and I just love the hat !
She is just gorgeous, Teresa, and so great that you loved doing it, I think it shows.

Wowwww Teresa, She is just so cute. The choice of color is very nice. Wonderful!:)
Sweetness personified! You've really done yourself proud on this one, Teresa! I think it's all been said above, but I will say it again, she's precious!

It's all been said, but that portrait is so lovely, I just had to chime in and repeat...gorgeous!

Just gorgeous. I'm jealous too. Wish I had your patience.
Wow it is a lovely portrait and I really love it. Great work and keep it up.
Have a fruitful weekend,
Such a beautiful portrait, Teresa. What a sweet face and lovely soft colors.
No internet. Yikes!! Glad you were able to solve it w/Firefox. I know when Safari jams up on me, firefox comes through.
Awwwww...what an adorable child! You did such a great job on this. Love those eyes and the tiny, delicately posed hand. Just precious!
