John,

Thank you. Actually, I could use some help with the framing! I must've been dreaming earlier this year when I scheduled the kickoff of the shows for January 2002, not realizing I'd have to do the finishing touches on the frames during holiday season!)

Yes, I see what you mean about the surface around the eyes being too texturized. That jaw was all in light and in trying to add some color to break that monotony I probaby hardened the edge too much.

I think learning skin tones is the hardest art technique I have ever had to learn and I see that others have similiar problems mastering it. The more I work at it though, the easier it gets.

Karin, Now that we are onto my orange problem, here's a perfect time for me to ask what you start your lights with. Is is a yellow ochre/white base? Any alizarin? Cad. red? Which green or blue are you using to cool off the halftones? Perhaps my cad. orange should be put away in the drawer for a while.

Renee
