Hi Mike,

The first photo - oh, yes. I love the hint of an attitude that happens with this pose. It has a little of that Boldini sassiness that I like in big, elegant-woman paintings. (To me, the test is, does it look like I could sit next to this person during a long dinner party? Would she capture my interest?)

A woman could be as dull as dishwater but she would never want to appear that way in a painting. You're already off to a good start.

I agree with Scott, though, it would be good to see how, exactly, she is leaning her torso back to the desk.

By the way, I hope you're planning on working BIG scale with this one.
