Thanks for the references, Julie, Mike and Sharon.
After viewing Rembrandt's Mother I felt relieved to have the image I have to work with- yikes!!
I am definitely going to give this a shot in oils since I have until the end of March to complete. I was thinking of a monochromatic painting but making the black a chromatic black rather than black, black??
And then I saw the Elizabeth Throckmorton by Nicholas deLaigilliere - Wow, Sharon, it must be georgious to view in person. I found some great images on the web, posting one of the closeups below for everyone else to enjoy.
I'm feeling inspired!!
