I still have a lot of hair to paint in around her neck. I haven't focused much on painting the shirt yet; it won't be as intensely white, I will be calming it down and bringing detail to it with glazes. Also, other various details yet to add.

While I work my favorite words that are in my mind about paint application are: opacity, trasnsulcency, and thinness, thickness. It is important to me that paintings feel like paintings. Applying all the paint equally will make for a less dymanic and interesting painting. These things you can't truely view or fully appreciate by a photographic reproduction. But I hope you enjoy viewing the work here anyway, even if it's not it's full glory (or even complete!). (This is the nature of the blog!)
Ha, ha...I was staring at this image and thought it looked just like Andrea, (not seeing "Andrea" printed in gigantic letters at the top!) I debated asking you if it was her, but didn't want to insult you if it wasn't!! Beautiful work, Nicole. I love it!
