Really nice! I like the way you blended the lightmasses with the shadows. All the paintings you've studied were well worth it! It really shows in a model study like this.
Yeah, the old master studies are a time tested and true method for finding one's own mastery. But I also think, part of the journey is learning what kind of model an artist needs for their own alchemy, because in the end, we all tend to specialize.

Anyway, always an honor to have you drop by.
Best wishes in '10
Anyway, thanks for looking.
