Alex - you know, I have been dying to do this subject matter since I saw your mega-prize-winning painting of the plasterers on the table. I blame you for this. (Thanks for the nice comments!)
Ilaria - if anybody would have noticed those yellow/lilac complementary splotches, it would be you, with your keen eye for color. Thank you so much for the comments. I've ruined paintings in the past by tweaking around after a life session, so I'll be careful - just a couple of corrections to the head and bicep, I think.
Mischa - you have such a keen eye - thank you and I will be careful.
Allan - I know you are also a fan of dramatic light situations. I am so happy you like this one, thank you for saying so!
Chris - Oh - you are too funny. The mood is, "I have painted too many children and beautiful sleepy young women in a row and I am really ready to paint a guy with a pickax." I really wanted to paint a dramatic pose. Just a teensy weensie bit more fiddling, I pppppppromise.
