Thank you folks! I appreciate the nice comments!
Allen, my 19-year-old niece modeled for this for me when she was here at Thanksgiving. Knowing her, she is thinking "Bob, Joe or Tom?"
Alex, Im glad you mentioned the word concept because I have swirling around in my head somewhere a theme for a series I want to explore. Actually, Ive already started with the last few paintings...I just havent quite solidified
exactly what it is yet. It has something to do with emotions and relationships...but other than that I can't yet explain.
Joan, I was thinking it had a bit of a church feeling as well with those grills and her hands are in a prayer position.
I think I have one closeup at the right size Lacey - here you go.
edit - well, of course. Thats posting really too cool. I will try and take some better shots later.
