Thank you all
I painted this in a 2+ hour open studio, so just the one session.
If I had been better organized, I would have toned the canvas first, but it's OK once you get the white covered - still I very much prefer a toned canvas, as you described, Mike. Not to mention, I've never gotten everything right the first time - and sometimes not the tenth, sigh.
Nice to see you online, BTW Mike
