Late post

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Thank you so much to all of you for your kind comments.
Having the opportunity of being reviewed by artists like you does add a lot to my confidence. Even though my clients were very satisfied, the most important opinion for me is the competence of your comments here.
I am working on painting with more ease and freedom, but only you can really understand what a long way one has to go before aquiring those skills. Ignoring the outlines, working on edges, obliterating useless details, juxtaposing colours, they are all a product of thinking very hard, elaborating on the painting. You can't imagine how happy I am that this comes through at least to art-trained eyes.
I haven't been posting many works recently since I have been mainly painting still-life (I have a possible show in sight). Still life is unpressurized and allows me to practice and try new ideas, I hope that I will be able to transfer what I have been learning into future portraits.
Thank you again
Ilaria

Ilaria--

Wonderful, simple and spontaneous! And I will use the above list of what you tried to remember as you were painting as a checklist for my own work.

Thanks--TE

I agree with all- these portraits are engaging and compelling- a painter's dream to be be to find clients who see like artists.

Congrats.

Oh Ilaria, I like these! They are just infused with light and life.

Thank you so much Tom, Chris and Jean for your nice compliments.
Tom, as soon as I think I have a good checklist something else comes up I didn't think about !
