Finally I got around to doing gorgeous Ella in Painter. I was basically following a tutorial in the Painter 8 WOW book "Creating a Photo-Painting" by Michael Campbell. Although I didn't follow it to the letter, I liked his approach.

Gerber baby?

Hope you all like this one. I really liked how it came out. First, I made the eyes 10% bigger. I then supersharpened just the eyeballs. I then used Flaming Pear's Pixel Trash on a separate layer with adjusted opacity set to Luminosity. I then flattened and did some additional enhancements in GIMP (more comfortable with the layer properties and such in GIMP which I'm more competent using). Flatten and done.
