Here are a couple of close-ups of the jacket.

Wonderful! And I wish I owned a jacket like that.

Alex -

Great painting! That fabric texture is wonderful, too. The composition is unique as well. Wow, wow wow.....I know when I come to one of your unveilings, I am in for a treat.

[John Reidy]

Congratulations, Alex. Another winner.

Michele, Julie, and John--thank you!

I have to agree that the jacket fabric is beautiful. To get just the right colors I hung it up behind the easel as I was painting. I discovered that the shine of the threads in the pattern was in a different angle to the light source than the shine of the silk body of the jacket. It was fascinating but extremely complex. Every time I start a new painting there is so much to learn!

Alex, such a complex and satisfying painting to look at! There is so much there, that I forget to even view it as a painting. You've told a story and written a book and brought her to life all at the same time. This I like.

Wow, Jean, to think you forgot it was a painting! Thanks for all you said. I try to do these things, and it's nice to know you feel I did. It kind of balances things out since I am rarely satified with my own efforts.

Fantastic value scheme and beautiful textures all over. The light on your mothers head is just right, it is perfectly balanced with the dark background.

Allan, you will just have to visit!

Dear Alex, As you know, I just saw this during my last studio visit at your place. She is wonderful, and her personality sparkles through so effectively! I'd know her instantly in a crowd.

Please forgive my tardiness, I love this painting. I wish I were your cousin. You have color and design and textural excitement going on here.

Alex, I always learn from you and I appreciate it.

Beautiful! I'm hoping you'll say something about your compositional decisions - those "pointing" contrasts of geometrical design on the subtle background chalkboard and the 3-d model must have been great fun to design.
