I just had to chime in after watching this develop. I love this painting but I am especially drawn to the way you treated the lighting on the right side of the hair. I like how you are tying that in with the blue in the background. It's really a stunner.

Beautiful Jimmie
Very excited to see your work in color. and I like the drama of the lighting and the pose (back of the hair is delicious). I agree, soon you will be FT.
A Great Big Fan!!!

It's 3am and I need to wake up at 7 to get my daughter ready for school so I'll try to make this quick. First, of course, I gotta thank Pat and Lisa for the kind words and hope they, along with everyone else likes the finished(?) product.

Bravo Jimmie,
Beautiful job. I like that you had the color scheme planned from the start and hunted it down so effectively. You paint like a master.

I absolutely love it! The way you use the pastels really appeals to me, it looks so natural and effortless, ( even though you say it isn't),always the sign of an accomplished artist. You have given me the inspiration to carry on trying

Thank you all very much for such kind words.
But.....now that I had some sleep, I don't like the shirt. I like the colors, but not the shapes involved. Meaning the lines that separate the fabric don't look right with the rest of the pic. It bothers me the more I look at it, gotta see how much it bothers me when I get home and study it.
Thanks again. Very grateful for all the encouragement.

I love that you are paying so much attention to making the whole picture a success. The front of the shirt is perfect, the colors are perfect, I think you just need to adjust the values and their transition at the back fo the sleeve whene it joins the the back of the shirt, moving under the hair.
You are raising your own bar, and it will pay huge dividends for you. Well done.
