Me too, the more I look at the composition the better I like it.
I also like that there's nothing small sticking out, only solid shapes and colors that sing's.

Thank you all! Candyce has beautiful hands, large and strong. She is a physician, and her hands have healed many.

When I get into trouble with a painting, it's usually because of "too many" ...too many values, too many shapes, too many colors, too much saturation. So I appreciate your comments about the simplified colors and composition!

I guess I have to say it also: wonderful composition...the two figure dilemma has been solved quite astutely by the pyramidal scheme and the diagonal lines in the background serve to rivet even more attention on the figures.
Your handling of the figures themselves is masterful, as usual. I like the simplification of colour and tone also very much.
Very nice work!

Chris,

I love how the intense pink of her garment reflects up into her brown skin tone. Very nice!

Your boldness of color, yet always harmonic and under control, is a real inspiration (and a goal) for me.

Great composition too.
