Mike, thanks for the compliment, but didn't you know that everybody's an artist? Most of the galleries I go into offer nothin' but slim pickin's.

Thanks Michele, I believe that reflected light is a great opportunity to bring color into a painting while leaving the lights clean and avoiding a muddy look. As long as the reflected light value stays in the shadow realm you can really push color.

Linda, I view at it as a good example of the "when life gives you lemons make lemonade" philosophy.

Lynn, are you ready for two weeks of portrait boot camp? I'll be bringing Nora (the painting) with me to my demo, lecture and workshop next week. I'm afraid to bring it to my critique session. Just kidding!
