Hi Julie! I'll bite! I am impressed with your constant improvement and obvious effort to push yourself with each painting For this one there are a few things in particular that I see you have taken further. First, I adore the overall warm and sunny color. It works very well with her hair and the mood. It's so dawn-like. Do you know what I mean? This one of yours contains my favorite background so far. I love the painterly touch you have put into it and the color/value transition from the left to the right looks wonderful. I could go on but let me wrap up by saying that you have done an excellent job carrying the colors through the painting. The warmth in the highlights in the dress flows so beautifully through the painting..and by the way, that dress is so well done. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Oh, good luck at the fair as well.
