I need all the good wishes I can get for this stupid hand of mine, oh, I guess I had better stop typing, this is a no no too!
Honestly, I was so impressed with the quality of line in the clothing balanced by the elegant subtlety of the skin. I do hope you didn't "clean them up". I talked with a few friends once and we tended to agree that artists LOVE to see the work show. By that I mean an unfinished piece that demonstrated the presence of a human hand, rather than a slick near photographic work tends to make me, as an artist, react more warmly and admire the craft as well as the art.

I literally enlarged this one to look at those confident strokes in the collar.

Great work.
