Clive,

This is wonderful! How did I miss this?

Your visual haiku is commendable. I too love the abtract nature of the figure crop with its sophisticated painterly simplification. It is your brilliant and dramatic use of light that appeals to me too. Your command of perfectly keyed colors and values, convincingly communicates the sensation of the light projected onto the skin, as well as the specific feel of that cotton drape undulating beneath. That's powerful, to be able to say that so well in paint.
