I've only recently found your blog and web site and am thoroughly enjoying both. Your work is magnificent. I apologize for this post as it is off topic. But I have been tagged on my own blog. I just learned what that means and am going to 'play' the game. One of the obligations if you play is to tag 7 other bloggers that might be of interest to others. My requirements are that the people I tag must be good painters and must teach. You are obviously good at both and I'd like to have others find out about your work and bog/website. It's your choice to participate of course. If you don't, I'm glad that this has introduced me to your work and you to those who pop in here now following the link to you on my blog site. Thanks, I'll be looking in frequently. PS...Hi Darren, from Marc in Minnesota (River School). Nice to see that you're out there. Hello Marc.

Get the angles and lengths of the 'van Dyck Z' correct and you've gone a long way to establishing the orientation of the head.

On a right-facing model it is more of an 'S' shape, like on the Velazquez.
