God, you know how much I love your lighting. Always takes me for a trip, in this one though it's even better. The highlight on her back is amazing, but what gets me,, is your use of cast shadow! Even at a tilted angle you still give the viewer the impression of a window frame, and that's so incredible because it makes the viewer stop and think. It gives a sense of storytelling to the piece! The viewer quickly imagines a house with a large window, and the lighting in that direction gives a sense of the time of day, so we think to ourselves, "Oh this might have been done at noon or whenever the sun was high in the sky." There's so much to take away just from a window frame. It's so simple, but so elegant! You know, then there's the form and value of this piece. You know where the shadows will cascade and cover the form, and where highlight is needed to give a sense of depth and realism. Your halftones are on point, and your entire color palette is a perfect example of harmonious shading. The little details are something to die for. From the little golden bit of bounce light on her arm to the circles of her toes, and the sheen in her nipple piercing, every detail adds to the piece. It's so crazy though because there's so much minimalism going on! This isn't an incredibly detailed piece, but what you do add makes the artwork more complete. From looking at this, I understand that you know what information the eye will fill in and what you as the painter need to add. It's wondrous. Man, I just keep looking at this and thinking to myself, "This is a master study. This is the kind of piece kids study in art school and do studies out of." It's so... just inspirational. Thank you for making this. Wonderful piece. Truly well done. Keep up the always fantastic work, sir. Great job!
