On the Path to "Joy"

I'm working hard on my "Joy" piece.  It's based on a photo of my youngest daughter with her head thrown back in laughter.  This is a bit of a new direction for me.   I've never tried to create a face like this before and I hardly ever use these colors.   As a result, things are taking me longer than expected.   At any rate, I thought you might appreciate a peek at the piece to date.
