Thanks very much Julie, David, Enzie and Thomasin.
Your comments are all very encouraging...
Enzie, I read a quote once of Sorolla saying that he thinks a portrait should be done in one sitting if possible because the sitter grows tired and so does the painter and that shows in the resulting painting...I guess it stuck to my mind while doing this one. I wish I could always do them in 3 hours...(VERY seldom the case).
