Thanks Janel! 
Alex, your better than I am - I went into B&N today and bought 4 copies and told the cashier 'that's MY painting.' He was very kind and gushed over me a bit when he probably wanted to just say 'That'll be $35.'
Well, I would never complain, but since you asked...
Pensive is orange in the magazine, but not the painting. Really, really orange. It's clarity is good though. While Allison is reversed, pretty orange and pink also, and the contrast was way uped, so it's too dark, blurry and none of the delicate passages show. And her face is reversed, which I assume they did on purpose.
I had considered asking about getting a color proof - but hesitated as I didnt know if this was commonly done or whether they even had time, whether I would be a pain...etc. I dont know if it is nature of magazine printing, or if my digital files look that way to their computers. But I glanced thru a new portrait magazine on the racks and noticed the same kind of thing - lots of high contrast. I saw a couple of paintings I am familiar with and they were not wonderful representations of the work.
So, I was a bit shocked when I saw the magazine. But...what can you do? Im so honored they put my painting on there...and hell - I got the cover - no need to whine.

Kim, the paintings you did are beautiful. I guess I need to go to Borders and pick up a copy. This exposure surely will lead to many good things for you.

Congratulations!
Kim,
I happen to pick-up the magazine yesterday evening and am so happy for you, it is well-deserved. And it's been awhile since I've posted on our forum as I've moved across country, living back in Brooklyn now. So it gives me great pleasure to post with a congratulations to one of our members.
Continued success to you Kim.
Fondly, Magdalena
