Hi all,
I have replaced the picture since the colors were a bit dull, this one is more true to the painting.

Chris, Linda and Alex,
I tried a new approach this time, Cadmium's, large brushes and loose work, it was fun but I needed a long run up.

Thomasin,
I wanted to limit the colors to blue gray and ochers in an attempt to practice what I preach; only two colors. The simpler the better.

Karine

You are so right, nothing to loose, everything to gain.

David,
thank you, I hope that you are busy, I always enjoy your works.

Carlos,
long time, yes, I have too much to do on the roofs.
You know, I noticed that same resemblance, she has the same sculptural shape of the head like her mother, but different colors.

Mischa,
it sure is good to use the brushes again, but I also don't think that it hurts to take a break now and then to get really hungry. I want to make a bigger painting of Camilla, using the same color harmony.
