Kim,
This is the kind of painting you do that I really love. It is more than a portrait and you are taking chances that are paying off. The swirling atmospheric effects work great.

P.S. I also love "The Scarf"

Thank you Richard. :D

You're getting better and better Kim. I loved It.

Kimberly Dow 05-09-2005 10:23 PM

They aren't leaves though - just...color? But hey - glad you like it anyway.

Just spotted this, Kim. I like this new direction you're taking, the coloring outside the lines feel. Beautiful brushwork, too.

This is great Kim, I dig the work you've been doing recently with that feeling of intimacy. Sa-weet.

I'm with Sharon, as I read the color swashes as leaves, too. And I guess that's not a bad thing, since it works as such.

It feels like we're peeking through a break in the trees at this lovely woman; an Autumnal sylvan mood, I guess. Except that sounds pretentious, while your painting isn't. It's quiet and soft and well done.

Thanks Linda, Jimmie & Rob. I actually thought I had ruined it when I woke up the next day after adding the extreme colors. She has grown on me though....and I'll keep her as is.

As is, is beautiful. Way to go!
