To die for!




You have just hit that proverbial "new level" you're always mumbling about. Now what are you gonna do next? Beautiful.

Sorry about the horrible pun in the title above. Just couldn't resist.

Thanks, everyone!

As always, there are things I would do differently, but as I said, I'm trying to push forward.

Marvin, glad you think it works well enough. As you know, the only thing beyond the horizon is another horizon. But would we want it otherwise..?

Best--TE

PS...If it weren't pressure enough, the commissioning foundation gave me a reference scrapbook of her, and the first page I turned to was a portrait of this same woman in middle age by Howard Chandler Christy. After picking myself up off the floor, I studied her and realized it wasn't particularly good. Found out later the family didn't like it either.

Tom,

This is stunning and sophisticated, yet so elegant! The composition is simply harmonic. For a frankenstein equivalent challenge, this is entirely successful and dignifying. I am in awe.

Garth

Tom, amen to all previous posts. This is a tasteful and sympathetic portrayal of a gracious lady. Your technique continues to amaze me.

Folks, I appreciate the affirmation and reassurance a great deal. I just finished it and, as you all know, I'm in the "should of/ could of/ would of" stage.

I'll try to get over it.--TE

Lovely portrait Tom. It's soft and warm and sophisticated. I am sure the family is very proud of this one.
