Thank you for this glimpse of the process, Michael. I was lucky to see three of Whitaker's paintings at the Prix de West show this summer, and I see his lessons here in this painting, in the beautifully subtle modeling of form, and the luminosity of her flesh. I see the soft round sable work also in your
"Chase and Peyton".
What's next on your plate? I've been inspired by seeing your work evolve. It's great to see your passion and hard work carry you towards your goals.
