I love how he uses brushstrokes and little oil, it's so effective and yet the results are always gorgeous, the colors are beautiful even in the more monochromatic studies. Yours has the mood of the original, your figure is great, the detail is there but it's like Sargent's "Less is More" feel wich is so hard to get.. Congratulations!; April 3, 2008 at 11:23 AM
