Beautiful

Carlos,

Another exceptional lovely and sensitive painting.

The very light skin-tones are VERY difficult to paint as there is such a subtle range of color to deal with. You have succeeded beautifully. I have been working with that way at present and I am ready to join a nunnery and forget the whole thing.

The composition is elegant and atmospheric.

Ah! Models! One took off for a day at the beach without informing me.

As to the comment about reheating what has been served, that is a good one. I think we all so admire the paintings that were done in the past, we can be enslaved by them and their concepts. How do you something modern, yet employ the hard won skills of figurative painting? It is something I have been wrestling with and I am glad someone else is as well. It is something that cannot be forced, only considered each time we paint.
