It's always great to hea...Hi Kendra and Sadami,<br />It's always great to hear from you guys.<br /><br />I'm delighted that you like the painting...I'm not sure why the reflection makes such a difference to these pictures. <br />It certainly has the effect of adding depth and defining space. <br />There is the business of seeing two aspects of the same sitter, but my favourite thing from a technical point of view, is that the figure in the mirror, being more distant and of secondary importance in the composition, has to be painted less explicitly. <br />So you sometimes get lovely carefree passages of painting that can work better than the main figure.<br /><br />There's no bin in there Sadami.<br />I'll have to look to find where you are seeing it.<br />Best wishes<br />PJPJ Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084522129070266062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861082149398181136.post-2559805505341666652011-01-18T17:30:01.729-08:002011-01-18T17:30:01.729-08:00Dear PJ,
