Thomasin,
This one is amazing! The expression and the hand are working together, and the ambiguity of what they are saying, the elusiveness, holds my interest.
There is something about the way you paint features that I have never seen before. Maybe it's not deliberate on your part, and maybe you struggle with it, but most people would end up with an overworked mess while you keep the spontaneou, fluid, in-process quality of the face, and that is what evokes life.
I'm also very admiring of the warm, almost glowing areas where the halftones go into the shadow aras.
Can we see some closeups of the face?
