Carlos, thank you! I'm not sure really how much time it took. I'm just estimating. If I said more than two hours I might look like a bad teacher, painting when I should have been circulating around the room attending to my students (who are a great bunch, by the way). It might look more finished because I worked on the lower part later.
There is something in the contrast of those cheerful flowers and the melancholic look on her face that is irresistible to me... I keep having to take another look. It is so lovely!
