Terrific news, Alex! Will look forward to seeing you there.

This is a stunning portrait. The color is superb and lifelike, and the entire painting is a treatise on edge quality.

Wonderful work!

Mischa and Tom, thank you so much for your very generous comments. It was a lot of wok and there were many elements to coordinate. I guess I would call it a treatise on edge quantity As for quality, well, I'm never satisfied with my own work but I'm glad you see something worth looking at, Tom. It's so much easier for me to admire other people's work than my own.

Yes, I'll see you at the conference!

Congratulations on a very well balanced portrait !
Not beeing satisfied is a good way to go further, to never loose the desire to try new possibilities, and to do a better job day after day...
For this one, your job is finished, it's our job now to admire it as it is !

[Alexandra Tyng]

Thanks, Marina, I'm glad you appreciate the balance.

I agree, this is so important. There's always some new idea ready to be born. Hmm. . . that reminds me of your baby paintings. Interesting!
