  2. Thanks, Margaret. These were shortish poses--15 to 30 minutes each, with a very fine model.

  5. well, it looks like you got more done then me today. It's interesting to see these four displayed together, each with a different color system happening.
    Some good lie work in the green. Allows the background and forground to remain separate

  6. I like these. Is one of the categories "life studies"? Whether yes or no, "studies" is the key word for me here, and I mean it in a good way. You seem to be turning a mossy, maybe damp stone around and around, trying to see it all.

  7. Wonderful how the parts seem to suggest more.

  8. The lady in blue has such a wonderful face - both sad and thinking deeply.

    About waiting for the light in order to photograph your work: for me it's all about the light when I'm photographing something and it's very frustrating when I have to settle for a "snapshot" when I want a photograph.

  9. Thanks, all.

    AH, the model held this graceful pose for 30 minutes, if I'm remembering correctly. Amazing.

    PA, I like lie and line, both.

    BANJO52, "turning a mossy damp stone around" is apt.

    Katherine, I'm sure it's viewer as much as view.

    Paula, light crucial here too--pretty much all about the light. I know what you mean about snapshot vs photograph. You publish knockout photographs.
