Thanks, Pat. You were awesome to paint - that red hair is gorgeous. And you held still so well.
Thanks, Enzie. There are so many things I would have continued to work on had it not been a painting from life. And I still haven't figured out how to successfully photograph and post photos that reflect the art's colors well, so the truth is somewhere in the midst of all those variations.
Seeing what a photo did to Patty's beautiful hair color was an education (it really dulled it down)- it is necessary to do a color study for commissions, not just rely on a photo.
Marvin is also holding workshops in New York City in July/August. Here's the link:

And, yes, I'm shamelessly promoting his workshop. It's well worth the price.
