"Nova" and company

[Mike McCarty]

Michele,

It's not a commission, and I wouldn't argue to hard against your analysis. I like the first one and the one behind the chair. I would do this chair composition for the argument you make about competitions (I guess we have to be presumptuous about our chances) and I think it might surprise you with regards to it's value as a commission piece. It's a judgment call, I think I would take the gamble.

Linda,

I think it's genetic, this is his mother, the lady I photographed a while back with the violin. I would copy his (and her) right eye. I think it is more open and awake looking.
