	pepe nero1 says: Excellent! But cut out the original. Keep it mysterious-no explainations. Most artists know your source anyway and the others won't understand, not really. Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

	googen says: thanks! :-) it was really fun to do. (She really is so tilley-like, that patrician profile). Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

	monkeysox says: An instant fav. (You need to fix the glove on her relaxed, left arm (problem is visible in the large image). Also, a bit of brown "paint" is visible on the lower glove of the lifted right arm. I hope this one might win. Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

	googen says: thanks for all the kind words. I'm having so much fun doing these (and wallowing in real work avoidance.) each time I check the pool, I'm blown away at the ingenious takes on it that people come up with, incredibly clever and well done stuff. (I'm sure there will be a flood of entries in the last few minutes, artists being the procrastinators they are.) I'm really curious to see which be chosen, there are well over 20 really great ones. kind of like oscar night, I'm making a list of nominees :-) Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
	monkeysox says: work avoidance...exactly! total addiction. Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

	Paula Wirth says: Awesome! But shouldn't her dress strap have fallen down a bit? Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
	googen says: wow, good call, you know your stuff! it was painted over, too risque. here is a picture of it before it was painted over, discovered 100 years after it was painted.. (the article is pretty interesting) www.jssgallery.org/Paintings/Madame_X_Studies /Photo_of_Ma... here are some sketches and studies, an an unfinished copy. www.jssgallery.org/Paintings/Madame_X_Studies /Studies_for... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_Madame_X I especially love this... 'As originally exhibited, one strap of her gown had fallen down Gautreau's right shoulder, suggesting the possibility of further revealment; "One more struggle", wrote a critic in Le Figaro, "and the lady will be free". (Perhaps unknown to the critic the bodice was constructed over a metal and whalebone foundation and could not have possibly fallen- the shoulder straps were ornamental).' glad you brought that up, it was really interesting to read more about the piece. (btw -east bay rocks!) Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
	AlanSky says: Thanks for the interesting links. Since I've visited the Met in november 06, I was amazed by the painting and little story behind it. Encore bravo for your work. Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
	monkeysox says: I thought this one would make it. One of my most favs! Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )
