Hi Janet, I missed this too last week...
Gosh, I just love it, congratulations! I love the lush romantic style you have going here, it's very effective and passionate.

Janet,
This is really beautiful. I really like the expressive feel of the hands. I'm also really jealous that you have such a beautiful model "built in" so to speak.
From your comment, it seems you would also like some helpful comments. This is so nicely done, critiquing is a little hard. However, if I am allowed to be really really picky, I would say that the highlight in her eyes should be of lower value. Her eyes are in the shadow area, so having the highlight so white is a little startling to me.
All that aside, Janet, you have made great strides is your painting. It has been fun to watch the progress.

Awwww you guys! I really did like this when I finished it and felt so positive about it... The photos are awful for colour and I wondered if it was my backyard (where I take my shots) - it's heavily wooded and lately the colours have been a bit crazy (it's been a lovely fall - lots of orange and red), but after a few days I really didn't want to bring it up to the top of the heap by trying another pic. So thanks again. The gosh awful truth is that no way could I have come so far as a painter in the last number of months without this forum and the wealth of knowledge so generously shared. It will take some time before I can give back as far as sensible critiques go, but I look forward to it.
Thanks again (again).
PS. Yes, this girl has been a bit of a muse for me. I hope she will continue to be (ie I hope my son doesn't mess it up for us both by driving her away).
