Linda, I accept your suggestion, but the painting will take some time, since I intend to employ layered approach. Therefore, it might pass a week before a new photo is posted. Besides, I have to work on some other, non-portrait commissions.
Regarding your question: you

Btw, I have seen the pics from Bill Whitaker's most recent workshop at the SAS.
What one can say? Great maestro, great portrait and (last but not the least) - a great model.

Dear Valentino,
My apologies for not getting to post earlier. I think this will be a fantastic piece! I think I agree with you on the cabinet being darker. If you find it looks a little lopsided, you could probably solve it with some darker wainscoting to connect the figure with the right vertical edge.

Hi Valentino.
Thank you for sharing your painting process with us.
I think that you do right in moving the cabinet a little to the left to avoid the conflict with the Rectors head. This also make a better flow in the diagonal.
I hope that you will share many more of your thoughts along the way.
Allan

No part of this painting is finished yet (though the armchair is almost done). Regarding the cabinet, the more I look the sketch, the less I'm inclined to include it in the composition of the final painting.
I think I'll put the drapery of some sort (or curtain) behind the sitter, instead.

The work on this commission took more time than I thought. Since it

Valentino, I love this strong painting, especially the facial expression and the dramatic way you've arranged the composition. Terrific!
