Thank you so much to all of you for your kind comments.
Having the opportunity of being reviewed by artists like you does add a lot to my confidence. Even though my clients were very satisfied, the most important opinion for me is the competence of your comments here.
I am working on painting with more ease and freedom, but only you can really understand what a long way one has to go before aquiring those skills. Ignoring the outlines, working on edges, obliterating useless details, juxtaposing colours, they are all a product of thinking very hard, elaborating on the painting. You can't imagine how happy I am that this comes through at least to art-trained eyes.
I haven't been posting many works recently since I have been mainly painting still-life (I have a possible show in sight). Still life is unpressurized and allows me to practice and try new ideas, I hope that I will be able to transfer what I have been learning into future portraits.
Thank you again
Ilaria
