Congrats.

Thanks Bonfim, you're on the list now.

Here's a progress shot I found. Everything has been overpainted since, after some sittings.

Thanks a lot Garth,
By the way, I'd like to virtually visit your studio. I know you to be a paint tube collector.

[Garth Herrick]

Bonfim.

You are welcome to virtually drop by, anytime! [I know, I know, ...but how?]

One thing that magically happened when Toni sat for me after that state of progress above, is her navy jacket is of such a weight and quality of wool, that it settled in exactly the same folds as in the photo reference several months prior; making it easy to rework from life. I love it when that happens!

Garth,
I echo everyone to tell you that it's simply elegant. ( and I loved the close up)

[Garth Herrick]

Hi Marina,

Thanks. Saying "elegant" means a lot to me!

Garth--

Really fine....simple, direct, great character.

I appreciate the progress views too: it's always nice to get a look at the process.
