Allan,

The thing I like best (and there are many things I like) about your work is that you obviously enjoy the feel of the paint and the surface. In this sketch of your granddaughter it seems to me that the feel of the paint and your feeling for her are connected, so that they are expressed together. The blues and greens are wonderfully rich, I guess because of the copper showing through. Her skin glows in contrast. It reminds me a little of Sargent's oil sketch of his sister Violet, I think because of the brushstrokes and something around the eyes..
