Check it out - there's a new painting on rt.com:

There was a key moment when I could have finished the painting but I stepped back and saw that the subject's hand just wasn't cutting it. The position was wrong and it took away from the entire piece. I generally paint with a model who is shared by 10 artists, so I can't make changes to the pose mid-stream -- but OH, bliss! -- with a half hour left to go in our sitting, I asked Zan to change the position of her hand. And you know what happened? She did! And it made a huge difference in this painting. What a great feeling to have control over the story I tell...
Zan is a remarkable woman; very creative, open, a free-spirit. We spent as much time talking as painting. I sense a Zan blue/orange series on the horizon... :)
