Tim, I think I remember you. Were you with some other people??? How is it going?
The Cropsey grant was through the National Academy of Design, where I paint each day.

Wow.
What a moving portrait.
The execution is exquisite, but the composition and expression is so engaging! I just can't stop looking at it! Best of luck with the competition!

You don't need luck, you have talent. Just to be a finalist is an honor in that competition.
Beautiful, sensitive original portrayal, and I DO wish you the best of luck!
Sincerely,

Dave, this is a beautiful and moving portrait, really extraordinary.
Do you like using a wood ground in general? Is this gesso over wood?

This was on a wood panel I bought at soho art materials on grand street. They are great. I gessoed it 3 times, so its pretty smooth. However this painting is over four other paintings that were each sanded smooth. I think I sanded more on this panel than painted. So I guess in a way it might be considered an oil ground.

I posted awhile back, but it must not have taken. As you know I like this one very much, and I like all of your work I have seen. This painting has a mood and feeling about it.
A quick question, was your notebook done with charcoal and fixative?

The sketchbook from Italy? I used a mech. pencil. so I could alway refill it and it was always sharp. haven't fixed them. I'm going to have to soon cause they keep on getting lighter.
