You had mentioned no masking and painting over several layers on the light leaves. If it was egg tempera, it would take many more layers to be able to overtake a dark background with light, so that is one of the advantages unique to oil (at least I think it's oil?)
Thank you so much Mona! It's actually acrylic on masonite and I always use gesso instead of titanium white,it has more opacity. I picked that tip up a long time ago and never looked back.
Well, it is stunning. As I have said before, and will say again and again, I have no doubt ... your mastery of light and shadow is something. And, in the end, I think that is what much of art is all about, in addition of course to composition (which you have here in spades as well).

Hey John,
