Thomasin, I'm so glad you like this one, especially since the process of putting on the paint was a total experience this time. (We have talked about that before.) Everything was unified and I could feel the quality of the light as I was painting everything, especially the skin.
I painted this as part of my project "Portraits For the Arts." so I'm hoping somehow it can be used to raise money for an illustration scholarship at an art school here or something that honors the Krushes. The Brandywine Museum collects the work of illustrators. . .hmm. . .interesting idea! Thanks, Thomasin!
