Selfies and Others, Elaine, by Sirkka Jalava

I have given a try, three tries, to get Elaines beautiful features on the paper. I can not decide, which one of them is most like her. So I let you do it instead. 
This first one I did last. They all are aquarelles in size 32x24cm.
This is the second one.
And this I did first. I had not realized yet the eyes and nose, how they should look.  So when I look at these pictures I get more and more the feeling, that the first one which I did last, has most likness . What do you think?

    Personally I think the first one, but they are all beautiful!

    Wow, Sirkka, they are all beautiful but I think the top one captures the Elaine I've seen best...that gentle but intense tilt of the head, and gaze...

      Thank you, Nicole. So different they are and yet the same model.

      Ok, Joan, thank you! I think in the same way, but the others have their points too. Thanks again.

    Wow Sirkka, I can't decide which one I like best! I think I must agree with you and everyone else, that the top one is the closest. I can't believe you did this three times! I know it's hard to do my face -- I don't have a bridge in my nose like a European! And my eyes look cross eyed just because of my face's shape!

    Thanks jaguarish for stopping by. I have been waiting for your comment. You are right, your nice nose was a problem to get right, I did not think on it before I tried to do it.. And the eyes too. But I hope you like these. I have these portraits on my blog to day too and some on the fb.
