Chris,
Thanks for the info about the canvases.
The portrait vignette is something you do so well, and I think this one is particularly successful. i like how you put the shadowy blue down first, extended it out just a little more than the light, which you built up n top of it. Even though you say you do not work with much impasto, the blue in the light looks thick and dimensional. Another thing I admire is your strong and sure modeling, which somehow achieves new heights here, maybe because the gradations are subtle. Beautiful, Chris!
Could we have another closeup centered on the face?
