Hi, the "ala candlelit" style certainly appeals to me. My gripe falls on the red reflection on the vase. It'll work really well if it could be toned down a little. That's my opinion of your work here.
This was one of my compositional experiments from earlier this year.
I work from both life and photos and tend to sketch from multiple angles (from life, when possible) before starting a painting. Maria is my ever-trusting guinea pig and my better half - of course .
Judson, Jeff, Michele and Marcus, thanks again for your comments.
