Nice! Real great shadows on the sweater and hat. Shadows on white are challenging. How much time did you spend on that?

Thanks Ken, its really impossible to give an exact amount of time I spent on this, but it was quite a lot... this was also an experiment in glazing techniques. The whole painting is thin layers of color built on top of one another. But if I was forced to guess, I'd say 1.5 -3 hour sessions, 10-15 sessions over a two month period.
