She it lovely Linda! I love the colors you have used.

This is great Linda! It has a neat fairy/elf thing going on there also.

Linda,

Your beautiful mythic lady looks like she has recently emerged from the deep blue sea. A little mermaid?
Great contrasts.

Linda,

This is a lovely portrait.

Linda,

Beautiful painting - The colors are wonderful!

Really lovely Linda! --with sort of an other-worldly mystical feel to it. How nice that the clients were open-minded enough to let you do something unique. She's beautiful.

Love the DNA strands!

(Just kiddin' there.)

I just watched Troy last night, and this reminds me of the laurel leaf crowns and togas that the ladies wore.

Very beautiful, and very visionary. Congrats!

How do you like Max's gesso board? I've only used the linen panels, but he's told me I really should try the gesso.

Linda,

I feel a wave of DEEP resentment creeping over my erstwhile calm and saintly persona.

You get to paint a beautiful model AND a beautiful painting AND get paid for it.

After over a month of searching for a model, pay at now $15 per, 12-20 hours a week, flexible days, I WAS ready to call Club Balloons for a 'dancer', until I read they make $700 a night seducing a pole.

Really imaginative and gorgeous, Linda. The parents should be really overjoyed.

Dang! Sorry to have been misleading, Sharon, this was done as a gift. I do tend to push for offbeat ideas, though. And thanks, Denise and Beth.

Linda,

I dont want to go off-topic in your Unveiling here - so move this somewhere ok? I just want to make sure you see this -

Can you tell me what if any the difference is between the realgesso panels and ABS for painting on? Because of all the hoopla I think I need to stop using the ABS, but I love the surface so much! I have 2 realgesso panels and just havent used them yet. Also - Ive had problems with glare with the ABS and was hoping the panels were better.

Thanks!
Kim
