Beautiful, Tony!
Was this a commission? She has a bold commanding presence, and your use of a composition within a square is daring, and accentuates her strong personality. I love your way of distilling chiseled planes of color and value that are right on key, and very sculptural; also the dark, moody atmosphere. This is a great portrait! Congratulations, and well done, my friend.
Garth

Tony, I love all those fluid color changes in the face and I really like the strong brushwork as well - keep posting these!

Tony, handling all those darls without mud and dirt in the skin tones, what an accomplishment.
Really an elegant painting
