Hi there, Virginia,

This is a fresh, charming painting with a lot of lively color notes, especially in the shadows. But how on earth do you manage to work so small?

I can never manage to paint a beach scene without anguishing over where the horizon line should run. I like how you've handled it.

Is it safe to comment that you seem looser in your own work than in your commissioned pieces?

Best wishes,

Linda
