Mischa,

Thank-you for the compliments on the color. I added wax medium to the subsequent layers of the blue. It makes the paint layers quite translucent and lovely.

Enzie,

How prescient of you! I had both Gainsborough's "Blue Boy" And Lawrence's "Pinkie" on my computer to refer to. They were in fact my inspirations. The painting is now as we speak in a lovely 18th Beacon Hill town House in Boston.
