Ngaire,
thank you for your nice comments to both Egon's hands and Camilla's paintings.
It's strange to think about you being on the other side of the globe. How is your own painting going? It's been a while since I have seen anything from you, I look forward to it.
Bonfim,
yes, we do have sun here! The references were taken in the summer and I thought that the skin color would be a fine contrast for the bluish colors in the rest of the painting.
David,
thank you for commenting
I am happy with it and think that it added to my portfolio as being a little more formal.
