Lovely work, Natalie.

Natalie, the illusion of the glasses is wonderfully done. Number two has my vote as well. Very nice piece.

Thomasin and Richard--thank you very much!

Dear Natalie,

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pieces. I am particularly taken with your management of the edges and glasses in Johanna's piece. I also love the way you've painted the color and values in shadow, and that you took such care in the placement and composition, which I know many forfeit in the rush to get started in the few hours available in an open studio setting.

Chris, thank you so much for your thoughtful compliments. It means even more considering the source! Thanks again.

A little late to the party, but I was also very impressed with the way you painted her glasses - masterfully done!

Not late at all, Laurel--I love as many compliments as I can get! :) Thanks for looking.
