Thanks Bonfim, you're on the list now.
Here's a progress shot I found. Everything has been overpainted since, after some sittings.

Thanks a lot Garth,
By the way, I'd like to virtually visit your studio. I know you to be a paint tube collector.

Bonfim.
You are welcome to virtually drop by, anytime! [I know, I know, ...but how?]
One thing that magically happened when Toni sat for me after that state of progress above, is her navy jacket is of such a weight and quality of wool, that it settled in exactly the same folds as in the photo reference several months prior; making it easy to rework from life. I love it when that happens!

Garth,
I echo everyone to tell you that it's simply elegant. ( and I loved the close up)

Garth--
Really fine....simple, direct, great character.
I appreciate the progress views too: it's always nice to get a look at the process.

Thanks so much Tom.
Well it's really only one progress view paired with the finish. This time I borrowed new member Richard Murdock's approach of drawing a grid on the canvas and generally locating points within that broad grid. The progress shot above shows the moment I managed to bury that grid from visibility; something I did as quickly as possible! That state above was perhaps a couple days into this portrait, and everything was essentially there, at least as a value hierarchy. Sometimes it's refreshing to try a different and simple approach.
Edit: It was not too intensive a grid: I think I spaced the squares about every three inches, which felt comfortably free but accurate enough, and very efficient for a quick mapping.
