Artist Reply: Hi Marie, I work first with large brushes and work my way down to small detailing brushes..although this is the exception as it's a preliminary study..but alas I changed the pose completey on the larger study which I will post when it's finished and after my exhibition in March!! But thank you and everyone else for the kind positive comments!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Stefani, it's good to get feedback on new paintings, these two small ones are actually drafted paintings for bigger ones..

Artist Reply: Thanks Emily, I like your photos by the way.
