Linda,
actually this is a really good idea, as I do sometimes end up frantically leafing through books looking for that special painting I have seen months before.
I have almost finished the portrait, and I got rid of the bannister as it had a feeling of someone within bars. I painted the mouldings of a door in the background, going back to the rectangular scheme again.
In a sense it was a way out to avoid a background with a nothing, though it is a much less real place than the room where the boy with the boat is.
It's an acceptable solution when you cannot rally paint on the spot, I think.
I am working also on three more portraits on the same theme,I will post everything as soon as it's done
Thank you as usual
Ilaria
