Hi Linda,

Another marvelous work!

The only thing that breaks up the beautiful design of the piece are the two lights over the easel; because they're so dark on such a light background, they pop out maybe more than you intend. I do like how compositionally they redirect the eye and keep the viewer from exiting the painting at that light area at the top of the canvas; maybe the area above them could be darkened slightly to knock back the contrast.

That is very nit-picky. I love how you've controlled the values in this painting to support the figure.

You alluded to a new studio set up, is this your first "new studio" piece?
