awww Mike - I feel like I have a cheerleader.
(any chance you'd put on one of those skirts?)

Richard - while I was aware of the diagnols and columns and instinctively registered this - it was also partially a lucky find in real architecture where I posed the model. I guess I didnt 'plan' this in advance of the model arriving - but I did recognize it's potential as I started posing her.

I have a couple close ups. I was waiting for someone to ask. The heck with you all then - Im just going to post them anyway.

The "WOW" Factor

Kim, it seems that all the adjectives in the English language have been taken so I'll just say ditto to them and tell you that your painting made me suck in my breath and say, "Wow! That's retina burn!!! I LOVE everything about it. Thanks for posting the details. I plan to print it out and use it for inspiration.

Oh this one knocks my socks off, Kim! It is marvelous. I love the "face into the wind" effect you have here - it really seems to suit your style. I love the composition and the feeling of movement - what a winner this one is!

Carlos - thank you! And I like that word a great deal! In fact, I may have to use that for a painting at some point.

Thanks Claudemir!

Thanks David! Hopefully, improvement will never end....

It was nice meeting you at the PSA conference, by the way - too bad we didnt run into each other again!
