Hi Sharon,

Ah, yes, the value thing. You are so right. of course. I recall reading a thread quite a while ago in which Peggy Baumgartner (hope I spelled that right) discussed value-massing. At the time I thought good grief, what else is there that I need to worry about that I've never even heard of? So In this painting I tried to simplify the values in order to emphasize the composition. But I over-did it and instead of her 3 distinct value masses, I guess I've got two, maybe two and a half. This really isn't a simple thing that we are trying to do here, is it? Thanks so much for your time in commenting. I thought I might have another go at this one, but I'll probably get them to pose again and try a whole new painting. It's all about the practice.

Thanks again, Janet
