Jean,

This IS so much better! I clicked back and forth between the original and this one to see how much better this is, vis-a-vis the color and drawing.

Sargent, it is reported, would do over a head a dozen times until he acheived the desired result. Whistler would scrape down a whole days work if he did not think it worked. Some of his portraits would take up to 200 hours to do. Whistler's painting , "Miss Cicely Alexander" took over 70 sittings.

This painting of Miss Alexander also shows what can be done with a subtle palette.
