I can appreciate the uniqueness of this, having a daughter myself and having posed her hundreds of times in every conceivable position. Your mind struggles with trying to do it differently somehow. You really succeeded here.

I just envisioned this painting in my head--the pose, the roses, the lighting...
I have so many paintings in my head it's frustrating because I don't have enough time to get them all on canvas. It's strange, but ideas for paintings just pop into my head. I guess my creative "mind" never rests--no wonder I'm an insomniac!
And thanks again to everyone for the positive comments.
