    Kiki is done. Daylight is gone and this is the best pic I can get of her tonight to show you – but man. I have to say, when I finished this one I shed a single tear. As it was running down my cheek I wondered if it was just from sheer exhaustion, pride, or pain shooting down my hand. Probably all three – and a little regret, as well, since I couldn’t bring her home with me the day I met her. Dang she’s pretty.

    (view the work in progress here.)

    I’ll show you a better pic tomorrow.

    Updated with more accurate daylight pic (you may need to refresh your browser a couple of times to see it), and also – here’s a closeup of her face.

    All I can say is wow, I thought this was a picture! Amazing job, you should be proud. And every time I see your work, it makes me want to capture my babies with your artistic touch. Hmm…
