still working on veronica

now that veronica 3 has had time to stew for a while, I have exhumed her and worked on her again today, deepening the shadows and strengthening the river of light...not sure if I am going to be able to save this one. the imporatnt thing is to give it time to breathe between sessions...i have decided to isolate areas of light along the left side of the face,  the sternum, upper abdomen, and lower right arm.  I have also reworked the bathing suit, but we are not out of the woods quite yet...her face still seems too big to me, I will try bringing in the hairline next (avoid that queen victoria look!)
Best part:  the bracelets and the eyes.  Trouble spots:  right hand, nose, bathing suit....more work to be done
