Painting #290 - Nov 10 - almost cut off more than I could chew

I was really into painting this portrait, but, I always want it to look like the model, this time it's my Aunt Margaret, I worked on it most of the afternoon, and then about 3-1/2 hours after I got home, it's late and I'm going to make this short, this is done on a 12" x 12" watercolor canvas, with the opaques, so I struggled to get the lights light enough, I think I may try this one one more time, but, not tonight, I'm exhausted, got to get to bed, busy day tomorrow and looks like all next week, so I like this little painting, and I hope you do too.
