For some reason, the composition reminds me of Norman Rockwell's work. Very lovely, indeed!

Did you use any references for this?? You Must've... O_O
I just love the detail work around her ankles, hands, skull, cloth, and face....
Outstanding work, for sure.

Thanks! Started with a concept sketch, was really fortunate to be able to take some photos of my best friend sitting at a table, based the actual table on the one in my dining room and had a plastic skull sitting on my desk as I painted.
Cheers!

Possibly at some stage - I do save small samples as I go along, just so I can feel I'm getting somewhere. Until then, here's some other step by steps if you like.

It is one of the 3 essential food groups - chocolate, caffeine and sugar
