OOOH, I would love to paint this, too! I am in total agreement with the use of natural light...fortunately living in Arizona, there are only about a dozen overcast days per year, so it's a lucky environment. If I lived in any other area of the country, I would probably try to learn to use artificial light. Actually, here, I often have to fight the light..it is so strong and relentless, that even subjects photographed in shade can have trouble with sun squints.

I hope you will post the painting when it is finshed!
