I enjoy the economy of brushstrokes in the fabric and your subtle tonal relationships throughout the painting. I especially like the spatial relationship of the arms (i.e the arms on the viewer's right coming forward and on the left receding), and also the indication of space where the head juts forward from the neck. The excitement of your work lies on your extreme sensitivity to tone and space, and I am really looking forward to see how far you might leave your paintings underworked. (I am doing some
watercolours at present in order to explore these tonal / spatial relationships. Watercolour is very headstrong so the sensible thing to do is to leave it alone, which gives me the freedom to focus almost fully on the tone/space aspect of the work)
