Allan: Great observations, even from the stinky photos I took. I am going to take up all of your suggestions and see what happens. Thanks !
Ilaria: Thank you for your compliments. I grew up in Yorkshire not far from David Hockney's birthplace, but that's the only thing I have in common with him ! I agree with you on the arm - I think it comes across as being too heavy (perhaps massive is the right word) and some more careful painting would address that.
Alex: Thanks for your kind comments. You have hit on the one thing that's been really troubling me (perhaps I should have put this in the WIP section instead?). I think I should be able to correct this in a few hours but I'm also scratching my head on the best way to treat the edge of the face that is lit. It looks too harsh as it is, however I'm worried that softening the edge is not the right thing to do. Any suggestions ?
Simon
