This is a detail of the 20x16, oil/linen I started today in the studio. I hope to have it finished tomorrow... so far it has been a great exercise in backlighting and reflective light. I am also being conscious of having a variety of surface textures, using brushwork, washes and palette knife. After taking this photo, I took a palette knife and got rid of some of the excessive brush strokes in her shirt, eliminating some of the hard edges.

I think I can already see the Vermeer influence in these last two photos posted. And Hooray for two eyes!! I especially love your waiter, I feel like I've seen him before and he just looks like he's a good one, if that makes any sense. :) You got the *spirit* as well as the look of him.
Hey Camille, Thanks for your comments, yeah, I think my waiter runs a tight ship, for sure...
