Background detail

I kept the background on this spontaneous and free. Gwyneth is a musician and poet. She spends a lot of time outdoors and appreciates the atmospheric, woodsy and isolated environment where she lives.

Karen,

Stunning, beautiful, captivating and beautifully executed. I just keep staring at it! This is an award winner. The atmosphere, the composition, and the lighting - WOW.

I think I'm in love..... with the painting, not the girl, although she is beautiful too. I would be grateful if you could send me a high-quality JPEG of this painting as I would like to keep it in my archives for future reference.

Karin,
It's a poetic and dreamlike painting and beautifully painted.
