Garth--

I really like this a GREAT deal. What it shows when placed beside your more formal, "tighter" work, is that three-dimensionality and solidity is not a function of paint application or style, but correct observation. This is rock-solid and very volumetric, even with the looser painterliness. And as I view it more, it's got a really fine color sensibility.

Plus, I just love the complexity of her mood and expression. It's real life, not manufactured cuteness...you don't need more. A real lesson for me (and all of us).

I'da bought it too, but it wouldn't have taken me years...!

Best--TE
