WOW Chris,

Thanks so much! I wish I had extreme-close-ups, but unfortunately I was in such a hurry to deliver the painting, that I only shot a few general pictures like those above. I will attempt to shoot some more at the show opening later today.

Actually, the closer you get to the painting, the more it appears as a blurred image. The canvas texture is the only giveaway that a photo of the paint surface is in focus. Maintaining a soft rendering, and not getting pulled into all the nit-picky detail of the photo, was the toughest part for me. I repainted everything over and over until it began to look about right, with just a slight understatement, if possible. Sometimes the less said (in paint) about a nuance, the better.
