Thanks Joan!

I am trying to paint more loosely, but these images are making it look a bit scrappier than it is in real life. In fact I would like to report the images after this weekend.
The lighting on was a challenge and fun in that the main light is from the right and then there's ambient light from the left, with the "shadow" area in the middle. It was in this "shadow" area the local colors are more vibrant.
