Thomasin, with each new work you amaze me. The blue is wonderfully cool, yet glowing with warmth (as in hot coals that have cooled on the surface but are hot underneath). I love the expression and light on the face. I also love how the colors and brushstrokes cause a gradual ambiguity of the figure-ground relationship from the neck downwards. I think the "negative" space between the figure and the shadow is so interesting because it is not really negative but a positive interlocking shape. Also the shadow has a lot going on, a lot of possibilities suggested in its surface.
