I can't believe I missed this when you posted it. This is absolutely stunning!

I remember you being worried about the hand position, and whether it was accurate. I don't think you wound up having to change anything, did you?

Thanks for sharing the WIP - it's actually very heartening to know that accomplished painters like you struggle through issues (such as the wallpaper) like the rest of us mortals do.
