Beautifully done, I love your palette and loose style. The sense of light is lovely.

Alex, Chris, Margaret, thank you so much for your support.

I just got an email: the lady has written her memoirs and wishes to include the photo of my painting, maybe it's going to go on the cover, the publisher is very well known.

I am excited but now I regret even more that I didn't have enough time to go deeper. I am waiting to learn if there's a deadline, I might be able to go back to Rome for a weekend and have another go at it.

Even if you had the opportunity to make revisions, I would counsel you to resist the urge. The painting seems to me to be a completed version of what it is, brought along in its entirety to the same degree of finish, and I think it would have fantastic effect on a dust jacket or book cover.

If it is somehow "unfinished," then it is all the more appropriate to illustrate an unfinished life, captured in memoir.

Very good work, Ilaria. And real congratulations on your painting going in or on the cover of the book. Thanks for posting your work.

Ilaria, these are wonderful paintings and such strong expressions of your personal fresh, bold, colorful style! David used the word "openness" - which sounds exactly right.

Thanks for going into detail about your experiences of working on-site. You are fearless, good for you! I am watching you like a hawk to see how you are managing these.

Remind me to hire you as my portrait artist when I am over eighty.
