"Grandma's Mirror" - In progress 2

The next part of the painting I worked on was Maddie's face. I usually focus on the face first, that is the critical part of a painting, and if I'm not happy with that, there's no point in continuing. (That rarely happens, I'm happy to say.)

I love Maddie's profile! (scroll down for closeup) Technically this will be a "double portrait" because a frontal view of his face will also be reflected in the mirror. The most important thing I want to capture is that mischievous Maddie twinkle in his eyes.
