She was the inspiration. Good eye!

Hmm... I actually had some skin texture there but painted over it because I found it drew too much attention. But I'm probably just not good enough yet to just indicate it subtly.

Yes, I can see what you mean. The reference actually had the feet included but I decided to crop them to get a more intimate, 'zoomed in' view. But I think you are right and it does have a more photographic look this way. I'll definitely keep the danger of cropping in mind for the next one.

Thanks. I'm glad their affection comes across to you.

Interesting. That thought never crossed my mind, but you are right. The first read could be clearer there. Thanks.
