Garth, thank-you again for your very supportive comments. I appreciate them so much!!

Alex, the "Harlequin" title is about the character rather than the androgyny of the figure. I am very drawn to the theatrical arts and Rabelaisian hyperbole, and would love to, as I have mentioned before, paint something a bit over-the-top. Harlequin is a failure to achieve that as he is a more romantic figure than I initially wanted. Despite having an attraction for the grotesque, I always have a horror of it actually coming out in my work. Just one more of the mental battles I have with myself when painting.
