Everyone has expresses it better already, but I want to echo that this demo is an invaluable asset to the Forum community, and will inform and inspire better paintings from many.

I love the punchy background and the way it chromatically supports the figure. Hopefully one day I can take a pilgrimage and see your works in person.

Another wonder treat for my eyes, thank you so much for posting this. I always learn so much from your threads. I'm going to look for the marble dust etc. and see if I can gesso one myself. Is there a standard "recipe" for this concoction?

Bill, I'm always surprised to see how boldly your start as compared to how finished (fine) the final results are. I saw an old issue of Art Talk today with one of your works on the cover.
