With out getting into the debate over vegetable dyes not been as bright as synthetic ones. I think the the red is wonderful, as is the rest of it.
Congratulations,

Superb painting here! Absolutely perfectly rendered blonde hair. The eyes and flesh tones are top notch.

One small point, in your haste, I'm afraid there is a seam line you missed on the fur trim of the hat around the bust's back right side.

wow, I'm saving a copy of these pictures to my computer for future reference. Your skin tones are absolutley incredible as is the hair. As usual your reds are so velvety. Man, just amazing work and possibly your best (which is hard to say since all of your stuff is near perfection).
