Thank you, Garth!
I am so flattered by your compliment. And I have printed up your advice to read and reread, digest as much as I can before I get back to the painting. I am anxious to see how this whole glazing works, how it makes the painting glow...I found numerous images of the painting and was suprised by the variety of coloring and tonal range. In one particular reference the overall tonal range was much lighter and very yellow. In this image you can actually see detail in the darkness between the ear/earring and scarf/turban. So I actually discovered, quite by accident just how contrasty and severe photos can be. I will try to keep this in mind as I continue.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I will post more as I go along.
