This is my personal favorite this month.  I would like to second this quote from Pauline Le Merle: "Wow! this is one hell of a painting Casey, its like looking at a master! I think you've nailed it........"  Stu

Thanks, Stu! I will try the oil glaze as soon as it's really dry.

Casey, if you wanted to fix them, just glaze them over with a little darker color.  The way I do this is to put some medium (linseed oil, alkyd, etc) on the area I am going to fix and then pick up a little pigment and stain the color that is too bright, adjusting it with a dry brush or with a paper towel until you get it right; if you don't like it just whisk it off with a paper towel and some mineral spirits.  You painting needs to be dry to do this.  An alternative is to cover the whole painting with some Saran wrap (you probably call it something else in France, but it is just a polyester film that you cover food with to put it in the refrigerator)  You smooth it out and paint over it to see how it looks.  I usually photograph the painting before and after to see how it will look.  A third alternative is to fix it in Photoshop and see how it looks before touching the painting.  I make enough mistakes that I have gotten quite accomplished at applying easy fixes.  This is a fabulous painting with great design and incredible brushwork, and you really nailed the spotlight effect, which shows off your figure perfectly.  I predict that you will be the winner this month.  Stu

Thanks, guys, for all the encouragement!Elfida,I see what you are saing about those white marks.  They don't show as much in the painting itself, and I am sort of afraid to go back in at this point, but I appreciate your helpful comment.

Nice work, especially your foreground figure.
