Alex -

Great painting! That fabric texture is wonderful, too. The composition is unique as well. Wow, wow wow.....I know when I come to one of your unveilings, I am in for a treat.

Michele, Julie, and John--thank you!

I have to agree that the jacket fabric is beautiful. To get just the right colors I hung it up behind the easel as I was painting. I discovered that the shine of the threads in the pattern was in a different angle to the light source than the shine of the silk body of the jacket. It was fascinating but extremely complex. Every time I start a new painting there is so much to learn!

Alex, such a complex and satisfying painting to look at! There is so much there, that I forget to even view it as a painting. You've told a story and written a book and brought her to life all at the same time. This I like.

Jean

Wow, Jean, to think you forgot it was a painting! Thanks for all you said. I try to do these things, and it's nice to know you feel I did. It kind of balances things out since I am rarely satified with my own efforts.
