Tom, you have done such a wonderful job here. Anybody who has ever tried painting a posthumous portrait with difficult photo resources knows how tough it is to do. I really admire your work on this one and of course I will think about stealing your ideas on one of the projects on my backburner.

Seriously - thank you again for all the information and generosity on this Forum, I know I am not the only one who always learns so much from you.

Thanks, Linda.

Everyone here contributes on a high level. The standard for all of our work has risen tremendously since I came back to painting about twelve years ago. This forum is an integral part of that advancement, to my mind. We all teach and learn from each other.

Best--TE

Great idea -- thanks for taking the time to share it with us!

David, this is also a very interesting bit of information:

You know Bougeureau - as I understand it - in order to be able to paint those little cherubs, would often go to the Louvre and do some drawing studies of statues of small children to get the poses
I wondered how those old masters got those very young children to pose.
