{New Portrait Painting...}

New portrait painting.

Cropped and mostly ready to become an art journal cover.

I could have used this painting for my own art journal

but I have been saving several paintings from other artists

for a few years now that I

bought just for making an art journal.

I cropped the original even closer in PSE

to see how it would look.  PSE makes it really easy to play

with additional cropping  and still preserve the

original if I prefer.  Can't undo a cropped on the original.
