I've also been fighting with the tedious nature of some of my art. In your case the tendrils of hair look to be effortless, and her skin texture is flawless, the fabric is beautifully draped. I believe that most viewers will simply be stunned by the perfection, like Michaelangelo's "David". But, for the artist it may be a different story. At times I want to have a huge canvas next to me so I can just throw paint on, and paint with my whole body! (No, not like Farrah Fawcet, who rolled around on the canvas nude).

I wonder if Sargent ever wrote about his struggles also, and this may be an interesting topic for another thread.
