Garth, thank-you again. It's interesting you like the "Torso with Sienna Background". It's one of my husband's favourites too. I did feel like I was sculpting it when I was painting. They were both so calming to do. I did them very slowly and lovingly. A real break from the usual over-anxious state I usually paint in.
Marina, thank-you too. I did focus on the navel in the stomach. I loved the form and the play of light and shadow there. I would have painted that over and over if I didn't keep on telling myself that, professionally, I should finish the rest of the work. In fact it was meant to be a whole figure but I had such a feeling of it being complete when I finished around the navel, that I cut the painting down to just the stomach.
