  Wow Kim, you finished sooner than I thought. Burning the midnight oil?
  
  The face is amazing. Soft yet strong. She has to be an amazing lady.
  
  Sounds cliche, but it is one of the most interesting paintings I've ever seen.
  
  What you have done kind of reminds me of something I would do.
  
  I love it and congratulations on a completed and finished masterpeice.
  
  I like your choice of frame as well. Thanks for sharing the completed painting I was afraid you might not.

  thanks Boyd
  Irina is a legend in the Ballet world...and you can see her in the videos at the bottom of this page....she is the star of the film Ballets Russe and has authored a book called 'Irina' - Ballet, life and love.....
  
  the challenge for me when painting a portrait is always going outside the square.....
  I really like the portrait to be unique.....and hopefully work as a "painting" as well as a portrait
  thanks for your critique Boyd :)
  
  
  thanks muchly JB!!!!
  ROFL.....my autograph is terrible....I always dread finishing a painting because it usually takes me a couple of days to work out where to sign it.....a signature (for me)...is just as important as the painting :)

  thanks so much for your critique :)
  I have been giving the portrait a final glaze today...and fixing just a few tiny things haha....

  I have been a long time finishing Irina's portrait (nearly 2 years)...but I think it has been worth it.....

  Hey Kim, awesome job, keep up the great work. How long did it take you to complete it?

  hi Derek...
  that's a tricky question because I started this portrait nearly 2 years ago.....but I have not worked on it for long periods of time (months).....
  in hours I would guess about 40 :)
