Sharon,
It's a vision! It's so different than most traditional portraiture..... so very lovely and memorable!

I agree--and she looks like she's about to walk right out of the vision toward the viewer. I love the juxapposition of the very realistic, convincing illusion (wow, those skin tones! the translucent blouse!) and the dreamlike, visionary quality of the space she occupies. She is so alive, so much a teenager of today that there will never be any mistaking the time period in which you painted this. Your dreamlike space is also convincing, but thankfully not sweet and sentimental. It is simple and strong. I'm very, very impressed by how you pulled this off, Sharon!

It's lovely, Sharon. It looks so effortlessly done, and it is so beautifully composed. There is such a clarity of light and colour, it has such an elegance to it, and there is such good depth to the space. Very nice work indeed!

No wonder you were having trouble with that blouse! It turned out beautiful though and the whole painting reminds me of a 20th century adaptation of a 18th century painting by Thomas Gainsborough "Blue Boy". So alive and glowing with color. Very nice!

Sharon,
They say that every painting is a self portrait. When seeing it in the golden frame I see that it is right, she's your inner rococo girl in blue jeans. I like it.
I have also used the wax medium, I made it my self by heating linseed oil, litharge and beeswax.

EXQUISITE closeups, Sharon! The color, the brushstrokes, and that curl of hair on the last one--WOW! I'd like to see it in person sometime.

Congratulations on this very elegant piece. Love the blues and how the other colours complement it. I
