Blue Stephanie Needs to Lay off the Potatoes

Blue Stephanie is almost done. I'm just leaving her be for now while I figure out how to make her face seem a little slimmer.

She currently looks like this:

Truth to tell, I'm pleased with the outcome--I mean, you look at the painting and you very much see the spark that makes you say: "Look...that's Stephanie!" All the more reason to be loathe to make changes.

My thinking is to slice a bit off the side of her jaw, and trim the left side of the painting, where her face is in the shadows. The left side is clearly the problem.

Nonetheless, she looks lovely in a Bette Midler-ish way.
