Hi Richard,
This is a lovely painting wich brings a peaceful feeling.
Could we see a close up of her feet and the drops of water ? I especially love this part.

Linda, Thanks. This is a great forum and I learn continually from the other members. Being considered a contributor of value is high praise...especially since it comes from someone of your caliber of expertise. Thanks again.

Tom, Thanks more are to come.

Marina, Here are the feet and puddles. I did originally paint distinct droplets on her legs, but they made her look like she had leprosy.
They are still there, but I drybrushed over them until they were almost invisible. Now they only look like a bad skin condition if one looks closely.

Richard,
yes sometimes, details can be dangerous to make. Her feet just look like lovely wet little feet.Thank you for the close up.
