Linda,
I have come back to look at this painting three different times. Your painterly, loose style just captivates me. Yea I am jealous. In my heart I want to paint that way, but my hands won't let me....yet. This composition and color key just pops. Great work.

Linda,
I am amazed at this. I am working on a commission right now that has three people and I am dying over here. You make it look so easy.

By the way, did you tresspass on my property? This looks EXACTLY like it was taken on the front (or back, whatever your opinion is of lake property) yard of our cottage. Makes me miss summer right now. (Winter in Wisconsin.... YUK!)

Anyway, this is beautiful. Congratulations.

Yes very nice Linda. I like the soft analagous colors, and you did a nice job on that smile with the missing tooth. It's always tempting to brighten the teeth but looks much better when subdued as you have done here.
