Thanks Mary for the comment: I hope You would be able to see it soon in one of the portrait competitions in the States.

Hello Linda! The idea of the pump as an allegory of a human heart is really exact, although I never thought about it!

Thank you Chris, for the encouragement!

Regardless of its quite "narrative" content, I still think that the picture has for me more of a compact formal (colors, emotions, shapes) effect.

Hello Sharon again!

I JUST LOVED the expression "saccharine attempt"...

Do not forget please that under the effect of FIRE
it caramelizes and becomes "academic"!:)

60 yards of Tulle and a White Corset
 

My current piece, just coming to completion will probably set your teeth on edge. It will be quite a confection and if you see it, the word saccharine may come to mind.

It is of a white corsetted dancer swathed in 60 yards of white tulle, with an orange wig and sash, surrounded by a cobalt and turquoise chinoiserie background.

Okay!

Good Luck with your wonderful painting!
