Jim, your colour choices were very obviously not accidental, as, for example, you've juxtaposed blue-violets against yellow-oranges. Would you share with us the thought processes that you went through to set up this very evocative and subject-friendly scenario? For the benefit of the rest of us, what were you working with, what did you have, and what did you intend to make of all of it? Did you work a lot with the subject, talk to her about what you were looking for or trying to capture, wonder what she wanted to see? Was this done after a photograph session? Your result is so pefect that I, and I think "we" on this site, are eager to learn how you came to the point where you began with confidence to paint this perfect piece.
