Ilaria - thank-you very much for your always welcome comments and compliments!
Grethe - Thanks for your comments too. I do appreciate your critical comments, even though you said you weren't giving me a crit. All honest responses to my work are appreciated and of course you are qualified to give a crit, so feel free! You are right about the face being more solid than the rest. It is. I worked on it more than the rest. The rest of the work is there in relation, and in subservience, to the face. The body and surrounds are not as solid, but at this point it did not matter to me. I was trying to get a flesh-likeness and a feeling of character and once I had that I stopped.
The paintings I did prior to this I constantly had an imaginary audience/client
