It doesn't seem at all contradictory to me, Tom. How interesting to hear you articulate this process. I have experienced layers of this process ever since I started painting. I really like how you have described your particular version of it.
It's a striking portrait, the light glows, and the freshness of the color really stands out. You've really succeeded in subordinating the background and controlling the level of detail--I can see a change from the portrait of her sister, which was pretty recent.
