Tom, I'm so happy my palette helped you make a difference. I find that as my sensitivity to the subtleties develops, my palette is right there with me, nuance by nuance. It's like driving a tuned sportscar. The tighter the turns the more in control you feel.

Tom, whenever you post your work there is always something to inspire fresh jealousy in me. This time I'm especially impressed with the way the cheek turns and the folds in this dress. You make it look so easy to do... .
Congratulations on another lovely painting.!

I love the subtle color harmonies. Could you post a couple of closeups if you get a chance?

Tom,
You must have worked some from life - or at least are so experienced that you make it look that way. I have 3 children with hair that blonde - or they did have hair that blonde - and no matter how you photograph them there are always very dark shadows near the scalp of the head that isnt present in life. It is hard to paint hair like that. Too light and it looks like a fake cap - too dark and it isnt true to life. Her hair is superb. As is the rest of her.

Lovely Tom! I am sure they were dancing when they saw this beautiful painting.
P.s. Just remember what happened to Picasso after his "Blue Period"!

Well, you never know, but this time the clients didn't want to touch anything--loved it as painted.
As promised, here's a detail...
Best--TE
