Good evening, everyone,

Thank you Steven for posting this piece for me. It is a 28" x 24" oil painting, and the first piece I've been able to paint during these last two years.

Yes, I have certainly gotten "rusty". So critiques are very welcome. Specifically, I can't seem to quite get the perspective on the nose. Perhaps it's my values that's the problem. I appreciate any help with this piece.

By the way, this is a study from a Fechin painting. The person he painted was much older, in my study, the person has gotten younger.

I'll be back to this painting tomorrow, wish me luck!

Magdalena
