So Beautiful
Ahhhhh, sigh. So beautiful...and I missed it. Darn. I even love the drips at the bottom.

What a good idea! I wonder whether this kind of thing is done at the art centers around here. Thanks so much for explaining.

This is so sculptural. I love the high contrast ratio and the classic positioning of the light and shadow shapes.

Chris, what a gorgeous painting. You should paint over old paintings more often. 
What makes the pink paint drip like that at the bottom? I like the effect. Is it thinned with turpentine, OMS, or is it some other medium?

Thanks!
The paint drip is due to: 1) Needing to anchor the composition to the bottom; 2) No more time left; and 3) Lots of OMS left

Thanks for the info.
I'm looking for ways to impart some visual interest/texture into my backgrounds, and I thought I'd try some drips. I see a lot of paintings (particularly still lifes) that have lovely drips.
I wonder if there would be any issues with adhesion/fat over lean?

This is great, Chris. Would you mind posting a closeup of the face?
