Thanks, Mike. It's appreciated.

Yes, Alex, this is all about yellow and purple. It started off as a life study, and quickly demoralized me, because I could do nothing right on it. Something about working in my own home with a model and other artists friends present makes it harder, not easier, for me. I do a lot better away from home, working among strangers, for some reason. A psychological quirk? Anyway, I decided that - By Gum! - I was going to make it work, so took my time later with photos.

Right now the sharpest edge is the side of the chair, to bring it forward. I'll try those strokes to the nose along with the other changes and post later.
