Jane and Iona

[Garth Herrick]

Thanks Linda, Kimberly, Allan, and Cynthia:

I am heading out the door for another client, but I wanted to quickly thank you all for your praise and encouraging comments. I should be back on Sunday.

Dear Linda thanks, I am overwhelmed. It would have been great to have you paint Jane!

Kimberly, I have a shot of the background detail but it has a lot of glare. Basicly, it is a slightly blurred impression, with minimal detail. Nothing is sharp, just soft edges.

Allan, I came up with a new way on this painting to control values, with a 52 level gray index (in paint). The nice thing is that I can now lay down any color inthe painting (as long as it is not too wet in consistency) and know that the value is right where I need it to be. This way fewer corrections or adjustments are needed.

Thanks Cynthia, your praise makes my day!
