Today I wrapped up Elizabeth and mounted her to the finished base. There will be a brass plaque for the front of the base before it is delivered.

All the painting is done in enamels.

I just noticed I have not attached her pearl ear rings.....

All comments welcomed.

What a neat change of pace, Guy. Way cool.--

Amazing work Guy

Elizabeth is very impressive ,really a perfect painting

Congratulations

Lovely painting Guy,

Nice to see a female bust (you know what I mean)

Excellent work Guy.
Very beautiful!!!
I congratulate completion.

Many thanks guys for all of the kind words and feedback. Much appreciated. It was indeed a welcome change and challenge from my usual subjects of Native Americans and Mountain Men.

Nap ~ The collar was done by spraying the collar with a light gray and using a brush to get into the ends followed by several dry-brushing of pure white over the whole collar. It was actually the easiest part.

Beautiful work Guy!
