Rob, I think this is a terrific painting and I love it. It has a wonderful haunting quality and her pose has such attitude. It seems to me I saw an outdoor male nude of Eakins in a similar stance.
I'm really interested in outdoor nudes (I also have a woman on the rocks painting) and I'm especially interested in the problems you said you had in transferring indoor to outdoor techniques. It seems to be the problems lie partly in turning the form, would you agree?
So well done!
