Summer gold revamped

Update of 27 February 2012 : I think I am happy with the face now, much more refined and I added some buttercups for good measure, I love painting flowers

Update of 20 February 2012 : I was never happy with the original face so today I repainted her and i threw in a sunflower because I miss the summer so much. The interior of the sunflower is painted with bevel and emboss, after reference

A dedication for Karin and Suzy two of the sweetest girls and friends here, thanks for the friendship sweeties

Other than that is was an exercice in masochism, blond hair is hell to paint but of course I also enjoyed myself, 10 hours on the hair, reference for the pose, face a mixture of influence, no real girl

Thank you for all the love this painting will get from you, please full view otherwise it is blurred
