Dear Bill,
What a lovely treat to see this work. It is so very fresh, and the brushwork adds so much to the scale of this painting.
Personally, I think it would be hard for anyone to pass on adding this painting to his or her collection - it's nealy impossible to look away from her compelling gaze. It's a gorgeous little gem.

Bill, this is a lovely, lovely painting which manages to be sensitive and loose at the same time. In fact - looking at the closeups - it is a tutorial on how to paint living form paintings. This will be snapped up instantly. I really appreciate your posting it here, it has a lot of soul and charm.

Bill,
Wow, it's compelling and lovely! I agree with everyone that a collector will fall in love with it. I'm not sure, really, whether there is a boundary between portraiture and figurative art. At least I am sure that the best figurative art contains a personal element, and the best portraits say something universal.

I enjoy the economy of brushstrokes in the fabric and your subtle tonal relationships throughout the painting. I especially like the spatial relationship of the arms (i.e the arms on the viewer's right coming forward and on the left receding), and also the indication of space where the head juts forward from the neck. The excitement of your work lies on your extreme sensitivity to tone and space, and I am really looking forward to see how far you might leave your paintings underworked. (I am doing some watercolours at present in order to explore these tonal / spatial relationships. Watercolour is very headstrong so the sensible thing to do is to leave it alone, which gives me the freedom to focus almost fully on the tone/space aspect of the work)

Beautiful. How do you manage such detail in such small paintings?
