Thanks for all the encouragement folks. The main thing is I'm having fun doing it even if I do make a mistake. My hand hurts. LOL

If you want to do art, you could stop right there because you have done a good job of evoking a good emotion. I really like the piece as is. How about making 2 versions. A very simple one about like what you have now and one as detailed as you care to make it. It would be fun to rate the results and see which one all of us like better.
