Hi,

It's not wise to say something is right when proven authorities say it's wrong :-) or something like that....
Good work on those values and wise choice of chromas

Kind regards,

José

Isn't Gorky an authority? Should a painter paint what he wants or what the critics want?

Thanks for the comment, Jose.
