Hi Bill,

What a spectacular image! This is a painting I would just devour, with every single plane beautifullly placed, and then left alone.

It is of particular interest to me to see how you preserve a very direct color harmony, and how, even in the collar, I can see the painterly nature of the surface. As I might have mentioned, I have only seen your work printed in magazines, etc., and there is just not enough resolution to see the brushwork. Ah, I would love to see your work in person.

Thanks for posting this inspiring image.
