<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chris Peters's painting really captures a wonderful
moment in childhood. That little girl is ready to go and no doubt about it. The
drawing is good, color is lively and it makes me smile. As others have said,
there is a little problem with the chin. Rather than redo the whole painting, as
it might lose some its freshness, see if you can lift some of the red color on
the chin below the highlight and soften the dark line around the mouth
a little, as well. You don't have to go back to white paper. I'm thinking
"micro-adjustments." Then, to define the chin, slightly darken the upper
arm behind it. The painting really is a treasure. I'm wondering what it's
dimensions are.</FONT></DIV>
