Jim, this is really beautiful! Can you post some closeups of the background, too?

Jim,
Nicely done. I loved how you worked some of your edges and the boldness of your brush strokes.

Linda,

Here are several examples of the background as well a shirt detail. Unfortunately the many reflections caused by the brush and pallette knife applications required a lot of digital corrections and value balance suffered a bit.

Just beautiful. Thank you for the closeups. I am getting ready to do a threesome, so this was a timely portrait for me.

I'm curious though, did you luck out and get a good reference of all three, or did you have to pull from different photos?

Jim,

It is always a pleasure to see your rich, painterly work. The note of green in the pillow is ethereal..

Awesome

Jim, when I first saw your beauriful painting this morning, I was at a loss for words and could only admire it. It is so beautifully done that I had to at least express my admiration upon my return to this site. Thanks so much for sharing it along with the details. It defines the word "awesome".

PS I was amazed at how inexpensive your work is after visiting your website. Your mastery is way beyond your current prices.
