Michele, Julie, and John--thank you!

I have to agree that the jacket fabric is beautiful. To get just the right colors I hung it up behind the easel as I was painting. I discovered that the shine of the threads in the pattern was in a different angle to the light source than the shine of the silk body of the jacket. It was fascinating but extremely complex. Every time I start a new painting there is so much to learn!
