Painting Emma

I have recently been dragging Emma round cafes (Off to the cafe we go) and feeding her cake (Brum days) to keep her happy. :) I would not like it said that I treat my models ill and
she has been very good so thanks sweetie!
Well this is the painting I did today, working from a photograph: It's quite small scale and created with oil paints which are horribly slow to dry so it was interesting trying to get it to the car in the rain! The setting is the Debenhams cafe in the Bullring (Birmingham, England). Outside it was all lovely and white with the snow which looked rather pretty, if a little eerie in the photo- I really like it as a background, adding to the picture rather than distracting from the subject.

It's got to be cut down once it's dry but, I'd love to know what you think.

The neck and scarf have the best detail.
Also love the sense of depth in the background.
Nicely done :)
