This is one of my favorite paintings. This is an idea for a composition I had long ago, but needed a model to “flesh out.” You can’t see from the photo, but I put an extra glaze of pinkish paint on in the last step that makes the whole thing have a kind of glow to it. The only detractor is that if you look at the sheets they don’t conform to the shape of the chest. I didn’t notice this until it was too late to fix. The culprit is probably just that the model was clothed and so the sheets in real life didn’t conform to the body as they would had she been nude.
