Newest painting completed

The latest painting in my "With These Hands" series is still wet, so the shine created some white specks and glare where it shouldn't. I will take another photo before uploading it to my gallery. This 18x24 canvas is oil over acrylic, and will be titled: "With These Hands--Love."

I ran a contest on my blog at http://AnfinsenArt.blogspot.com/ and the winner became the model for this painting. Is it a perfect likeness? No. Did I capture the spirit of love between a daughter and her dad? I hope so.

Your comments or suggestions are always welcome; there is still time for a tweak here or a brush there. I tried to turn this into a "universal" painting rather than a portrait. I hope I've achieved this.
