Pillow into shade Painting

Finding the forms and structures within the subject, looking at the patterns of brush marks on the surface of the canvas and how they translate information. Making comparisons and evaluating outcomes. Looking at and trying to understand the broad relationships working within the visual data. Removing a configuration of marks and simplifying and reducing the accumulation of recorded info to modify the composition. This is all part of the process involved in building this image. This time I removed one of the light sources in the studio and relied on a window next to the object to supply illumination. I may need to rework this image! Vermeer as always a stimulus Recently I have revisited this painting from the point of view of modifying it or even repainting it. However having looked at it I must conclude that it is finished and looks better in real life than on the screen.
