LInda, this is just beautiful! I think your work gets freshier and better every time I see it. How about a close -up?

Also would you post the portrait I saw at the Scottsdale Artists' School last week called "Jamie?"

That lighting is very challenging.
It is simply beautiful. By the way, I love your "Is it Dusk or Dawn?", I hope to see it in person someday.

Thanks, Claudimir, for that nice comment about that painting - that model was fun to paint also.

Chris - you are being very kind - I am fresh (and fast) because I only spend about twenty seconds taking measurements of a live model. They always move anyway, so I keep things very loose until I decide it's time to tighten up.

Here's a closeup of this one while I go off and look for an image of that other portrait:

Linda, Linda, Linda!

I really don't know WHAT to add to the kudos except that I think it is amazing.

I personally love uplighting and this is a wonderful and fresh example of how effective it can be done with restraint and talent.

Again, I would STILL be looking for my yellow ochre.

Oh Linda, how did I miss this! I'm most blown away by her neck! That is an incredibly graceful and powerful line. Then I noticed everything else, and the attitude. She really has that "retinal burn" factor. I won't even mention the 3 hours.

Jean
