Wow Pat! Chinese Lady via Fragonard's France.

Really sweet detail! Fantastic! Great use of values and very rich color, which I'm happy to see you moving into as an exploration of adding weight to your work. You can see how the light look light, can you then, because of the darks? There are countless shades of how you can employ values in a picture. This one you nailed and you can see the impact it has.

Another sensibility in your growing bag of tricks. Very well done you! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!
