Alex,
Me again. Yes I did deliberately use warmer colors for the shadows. Vermeer's subjects are decidedly more distant and cooler (all that Dutch cold air and delft blue!). In this instance I wanted the subject (since she is very close to my heart) to radiate a warmth and vitality, rather than a cool stillness.
By the way Alex, I have long been an admirer of your portrait work, particularly your portraits of Nathaniel Kahn and Edna Andrade.
