Heidi - thank-you very much. (I've been having your sculptures roll around my mind as I am trying one of my own at the moment. It really has renewed my appreciation of your work. You are very good and truly do deserve what your client said about your posthumous miniature pieces.)

Garth - thank-you for your comments and your own paintings which were a good part of what inspired me (along with Balthus, Velasquez, Goya and Degas) to do and change this one for the better.

Alex - thank-you very much for your considered comments. I am pleased you do like this one. My paintings lead me a certain way towards a narrative but I always like to leave things unexplained, keeping that feeling of possibility in a work which makes me want to paint more. That kind of sweet dissatisfaction like leaving off eating something yummy without being totally full, therefore always waiting for the next opportunity to have more.
