Thanks so much, Christy! People who come in my studio have noticed it and liked it, so I thought I would post it here. I can't tell you (and everyone else) how much I appreciate your comments. As I said at first, I haven't done much figurative work, and it varies from figures in a landscape to more dominant figures in a setting. I'm still just experimenting.

One frustrating thing is that many galleries are not interested in showing figurative art--it is not consistent with their image. Yet figurative art is becoming very popular in certain segments of the art world. In New York, it sells extremely well in galleries that lean more towards "traditional realism," but I'm hoping that more "contemporary realist" galleries will start showing it, too. Really, it seems silly to distinguish between "traditional" and "contemporary" realism because there are so many varieties in-between, and several movements in realist art are coming together in an exciting way.
