Menage a trois!
It is, it's true, what an intuition!
Sharon, I don't know if it happens to you, but I realized many times that often what is wrong is not what I think is wrong, but something just very close to it. And when the head looks "wrong", if I forget about it and start reworking around it, maybe in the background, or the neck, suddenly I find the head is not that wrong, and a couple of changes are enough.

I am sure Sargent was keeping all the surface of the painting always alive, so if he repainted the head he ended up repainting almost everything!

Any better at the third try?
Ilaria (I am off for my fifth tomorrow anyway)
