I just spotted this, Clive, and I think this is such an arresting and powerful painting - wow! There's so much to like about it - the color harmony, her expression, the composition - it's all so memorable. This is the kind of painting that wins awards, hint hint.
You haven't posted in a long time and now I see what you've been up to - getting better than ever. Congratulations on this strong piece!
By the way, your flowers here remind me of
Paul Seaton ,a wonderful floral and still life artist.
