30x20" on ABS panel.

There is a subtle indication of knees here, but Im not sure it will show up on everyone's computer screens.

There is also a bit more room at the top and bottom of the painting that I clipped off the photo to get it straight.

Thanks for looking!

Gotta Catch My Breath!
 
Oh my...WOW! This knocks my socks off! It truly took my breath away. The power and impact of this painting is ... well ... I love it. :o

Hi Kim,
What a great painting! I remember seeing it in progress and it turned out to be a very beautiful work. Congrats!

Thanks Carol & Claudemir. :)

Here is a close up of the face (I see I still need to fiddle with her right eye a bit) - and a shot of the bottom at an angle to give an idea of whats going on down there.

Kim, this is amazing. Her fingers look like they're moving, the flatter darks against the beautifully modulated lights (or maybe I ought to say that the other way round) are delicious. And the narrative implications... I could go on and on. I am getting very tired of seeing these wonderful paintings only on my monitor. For two cents I would fly to Texas to see this in person (24 hour blizzard, don't ask). Thanks for showing. Janet

Kim,

So very engaging! I love this painting.

Kim, everything about this painting really works so well - there's such a sense of mystery and of urgency that grips the viewer. Great paint handling and I love the color scheme, too.

Janet, I had a chance to see two of Kim's paintings in person and they really do glow from within.

Thank you ladies!

Janet, I don't mean to rub it in or anything, but it was 70 degrees here yesterday. Come on down! :cool:

Linda, your check is in the mail. ;)

Wonderful. My favorite of all your paintings so far.

Julie Deane 11-25-2005 08:23 PM

Wow, Kim! I wish I could see it in person too. I love the picture and the closeup has soo many colors and is so beautifully modeled.
