GREAT simplification and massing of values and terrific abstract design, apart from the emotive quality.

Really fine, Clive.

Clive,

I agree with Tom that the abstract shapes created by the figure and background, and the simple value massing, are extremely successful. It is a great portrait. It really speaks to me! I also like the point of view (looking slightly up?) and your daughter's expression and dress. The flowers could have been just too trite but in this painting they are amazing!
