Uncle Roddy asked me to do this picture of his wife, to make it all about her in the cheetahs world. (hence the border design for this picture, which I especially like). I do like the picture, and how it came out...I'm just concerned about how Aunt Madelon looks - seeing as I've not seen her very often, I only had this picture to work off of. She's squinting against the sun, and you can see the humidity affecting her hair in this picture...and I was worried, that drawing those parts of the picture might make people say : "Hey! Thats not what she looks like!"
It looked like before the humidity of Florida got to her hair, my aunt had it pulled back into something - a pony tail, a braid or a bun...so I did a little artistic cleaning up of that - just about the only thing I felt I could be relatively safe in adjusting in the picture...

Small Adjustments - added upon request - before the finished picture

And the finished piece:

Unfortunatly, the picture didn't work out. Aunt Madelon liked the border and the cheetah, and so we stuck with that idea and pretty much started from scratch: Cheetah: Part 2
