Tom, as always, thank you for your feedback!

Patricia, I'm sure you will enjoy the Rives paper. Thanks.

Allan, I have spent the last few hours musing on what you wrote. I may be completely misreading what you intended, but let me try: I took what you wrote as a critique - a very insightful, valuable and welcome critique. As I see it, my strengths are all about capturing subtlety, the "delicate nuances" as you put it, but I wonder if I am missing or neglecting something that is at least as important, the immediacy that I see in work I admire, the "punch" as it were. I think this drawing has some nice aspects to it, but I feel - as I do with most of my work - that it lacks something, that maybe it's too refined, too polished. And I am guessing that the real problem is that I am - once again - copying a photograph. I think if I were drawing this girl from life it would be an entirely different experience - and result. So, I thank you from my inmost heart for your penetrating and insightful response to my work. Even if this is nothing close to what you meant! Thank you!
