The Red on this one washed out some in the daylight. The true color of that background is literally named REAL red. Think candy apple red. I love it. The high contrast between the black and the red just pops on the actual canvas.Anyways, As you can see I added detail to her hair, and fixed some tiny dots on her shirt.
Other than dry time, she's finished.

I am going back over her today to fix some tiny details. Now in the sunlight I just see some spots in the black of her shirt that didn't get covered and I need to add detail to her hairline, but other than that shes ready to go by tommorrow.
By the way... Those yellow spots in her green eyes are not really yellow.
They are mettalic gold flecks, and they make her eyes sparkle.

How about $100 including shipping?
That's more than I can afford but more than worth it.
How about it?

Here is a short story written by a friend:
A Short Story

"Amy Winehouse Plays To Win"
A Short Story
By R. David Swartz
On December 17, 1903, the same day of the Wright brothers' first flight, a woman who was once Picasso's lover and a friend of Marie Curie fell down a flight of stairs inside a luxury hotel in Paris. She was taken to the hospital by a young man who owned a pair of splendid Arabian horses, one of which was a gift from a grateful diamond broker named McKinley Lloyd who later died on the Titanic. McKinley's room was located just above one occupied by a young Irish mandolin luthier named Hobbs, originally from County Mayo, who hoped to reach Boston. His father had borderline-influential friends living there, the Kennedys. Hobbs was counting on them to introduce him into the right political circles. This didn't happen, though Hobbs did survive the sinking and eventually made his way to Massachusetts. His career prospects and ambitions began to come apart at the seams after he was arrested for public drunkenness and peeing on a police horse.
Hobbs eventually settled down, married at the age of 45, and had a son named Shrieve who grew up to be a big fan of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Fats Domino. "How about that Chubby Checker?" Hobbs once asked his boy. Shrieve said he liked the game of checkers, but not the singer. Shrieve ironically married a woman who owned a shop that sold nothing but games, and checkers was always her top seller, year in and year out, especially after Richard Nixon's famous "Checkers' speech in 1952. In 2004 she passed the store down to their son Drake, who proceeded to expand the business to seven shops including an outlet in London that he operated himself.
One rainy spring morning Amy Winehouse was on her way home from an all-night recording session and wandered into the London game store looking for a bathroom. Drake recognized her from a party they'd both been kicked out of recently and re-introduced his bad self. Amy wasn't in much of a mood for pleasantries so he pointed to the loo and she practically dove through the door. She stayed in there a very long time, but seemed to be feeling a lot better when she came out. Drake and Amy talked, laughed, looked at a few new games, and even had a cup of tea brought in from a café next door. The only game Amy was good at in her whole life was checkers. Drake howled deliriously when he learned this. He'd figured her for a Jenga or Strip Parcheesi girl. Once he got over his surprise, he broke out a brand new set of checkers and they began to play. If fact, they played ten times. She came back the next day and they played again. And the next day and the next and the next after
that.
Soon Amy was ahead 60-0. Drake had insisted on being the red player, forcing Amy to use the black pieces. Now he wanted to switch colors and see if his luck changed. It did. Six days later Drake and a frustrated Amy were tied at 60 wins apiece. Amy begged Drake be red again but he refused. She was pissed, in all senses of the word, and threw the game board across the room. "I'm sick of being red! I want to go back to black," she snarled. "Okay, okay," Drake shuddered, knowing he'd met his match. Amy smiled, having once again gotten her way. Oh, and that's also how she got the title for her hit song "Back To Black", which she wrote later that very same night.
