The lovely Mia

Time for something a little "lighter".
This piece began as an oil painting (underpainting in my scraps) last January. I finally decided to finish it up via Painter.
I found this picture and immediately fell in love. It was just one of those - my god! I must paint this woman!
So I contacted the photographer and asked if he'd mind.. he didn't... so this is the result. I just hope I did her beauty justice.

[edit] Okay. Worked on the head...
