And...Im looking at this on here thinking she could use some knuckles. That is a really tight shot of a small area - the painting is small....so...she maybe doesnt need knuckles. After all, she isn't going anywhere. BUT, I may just have to try and squeeze some in there. :o

Oh Kim, this one is so beautiful! The skin is so translucent and I love the pose. That passionate red background and the scrollwork give this a real Spanish flavor (well, that's my take on this).

I was going to post that this was my favorite of yours, but to tell you the truth, it's really hard to pick one. ;) I so admire your work and the direction that it's going.

It is hard to pick a favourite, so I'm glad I don't have to. I'll just enjoy them all. Seems like you are destined to be called "a painter's painter", Kim. Congratulations. Janet

Powerful, Kim! I love everything about this one. . . the color, the texture in the skin, the ambiguity in the gesture. Gorgeous.

Hi Kimberly, What I like about this peice is what I like about about all of your work...Spirit. I always get a sense of Spirit in your work, I feel your figures have Souls, something few artists are able translate into thier work. If I had paid attention in shool I'd be able to say what I mean better than this, but a master sculptor used to call it "Touch", and you have it.

I consider creative work to be a spiritual practice. Wheather it is for you or not, I don't know, but I see something more than just talent when I see your work.

Blessings, Dave

Linda, Janet & Terri - Thank you!

David - Those are some very nice compliments! Thank you.

Hey Kim,

Another great piece. Pretty soon, you'e gonna get tired of hearing that. Yeah Right! I love the colors used, like the purples and that red for the background. And to think, you're only going to get better.

This is beautiful, Kim. I really like it My eyes just want to rest and linger on this one.

Jean

Thank you Jimmie & Jean!

Beautiful piece, Kim. Love the expression on her face and the hands are beautifully rendered. The emotions you paint are strong, I love that about your work.
