Most definitely the top version. It's a lovely piece as is.

I vote for the first version, too. Beautiful, Kim!

I just saw all these replies I had missed.

Thanks folks. Unfortunatly, I can't recover all that dark background - especially since I put it on thickly. This is one that hangs in my bathroom now. :o It is highly entertaining to watch cable guys and repair men when they get a glimpse of it.

I am plannin on re-doing the original version when I have time.

I appreciate all the comments! And it's a kick to hear about other artists' children and their reactions to nudes.

Linda - I want to read that book you are commenting on..got to find the time!
