No surprise how beautiful it its. I do have to admit, it feels different than your other paintings. It's more alive, fresh, as in capturing a moment in time as oppossed to the formal or posed portraits. It's better than a snapshot. I love the way you can handle a brush, and with the closeups of the hair, it's looks like you can handle the opposite end of the brush also.

There is so much movement, I can envision her moving back and forth and side to side with the fence as her support. Beautiful expression. You, and the new owner of the painting are blessed.
