Thank you, Mary!
Mike, I quite agree.
I will check the viewer's left eye for the dark line out to the left, and the slightly darker glaze of flesh tone on the viewer's left side of the face. THe background is supposed to be all the same tone except for the highlights, but I think the vermilion needs varnishing. Amazing how the digital camera picks up on things like that. Also, the yellow values really have less chartreuse. It is more creamy.
I used walnut oil as a medium, which, I was told, is very slow drying. Not true. The alkid, maybe, but this stuff is dry in two days, and dries too flat. I will try the new Gamblin product next time. I am not happy with Graham's walnut oil.
