Beth--
I saw this in progress on another forum, loved it then, love it now. It's just luminous. My favorite of yours yet!

Beth, this painting has that arresting quality that makes the eye want to linger; it's got a splendid painterly technique (nice color spots in the face by the way!) and an honest directness. I wish I had painted it.

Great Stuff Beth. I can feel the bond between you both, it has a very personal quality to it. Well Done.

Beth, this is marvellous. Like Linda said, I wish I painted this. It's also my favorite of yours. I'm going to go linger over it some more....

Hi Beth,
Ditto what everybody else said! Another lovely work.

I'd like to see this in progress too! Could you tell me where I can see it?

Bonfim thanks!

Terri is likely talking about a few wip images I posted because of my strange way of checking my work, I am not sure if it was saying a whole lot but I can put a few of the post here.

You'll be able to see how I went crazy with her one eye.

And Alex, I forgot to say congratulations to you on your "moderatorship", you will be such an asset for Cynthia here!

Hi Beth,

Thanks a lot, I'd like to visit Cincinnati one day and see it in person.

I love it, Beth,
I love it from the ground color to the lips to therefected color on her face which picks up the sweater and ties it all together. I have read so many great responses which I agree with that I can't remember who said it was your best yet, but I agree! Why couldn't I have looked like that at 16? Or 20? Or 30?

Bonfim, come visit anytime, I love meeting artist from here...Mr. Garth!

Lisa I keep telling people it's all because of my genes, but no one believes me! HA!
