Why, thank you, Jimmie, Lacey and Brenda! I never expected to get any more reactions to this piece, I just was posting the revisions. Some other minor changes included putting more light on the velvet pillow under her arm, adding reflection in the glass of the framed picture in the upper right corner, straightening the couch arm, and enlarging the left hand.

It is such a nice surprise to see your comments! Thanks!

You have a distinctive style that I think I'd recognize now even if I didnt know it was one of yours - very very appealing.

I almost hate to bring this old thread up again, but recently this painting was accepted into the annual juried show at the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia. The show has been getting better every year, and I was actually proud to be hanging near some exceptional figurative art, including Garth's Lesser Apotheoun and a portrait by Rachel Constantine. Forum member Nancy Bea Miller had a still life in the show. Many well-known area landscape painters had work in the show, too. Altogether an interesting crowd and a festive event.
