...and kablowie!

Too bad it is only up for one week, would have been a good excuse for a ten hour trip next weekend.

My favorite area is the bright red/orange sash(?) and the shadow/reflection it casts on the outfit. Very bold, it borders on the abstract.

Always looking foward to your next one.

Sharon,

If it looks like this on line, this piece must have an overwhelming presence on a wall. Congratulations.

Will the hours of the gallery be compatible with the conference schedule so that we will have a chance to visit the show?

She was (ahem) a BIG hit in Boston. She is hanging on a far wall and you can see her all the way across the street.
Sharon,

I think it would be great if you could post a picture of your painting as you described it above, from across the street, or, from across the room.

What a thrill it must be to see your work displayed like this.

Sharon,

I second what Marvin, Jimmie and Deladier said. Seeing it in person, as all your other large pastels must be exhilirating. Since I love dance and costumes I know I would love to see this. Someday when I'm in your area I will call you (my brother works in Boston every month for about a week and I'm going to come stay with him to do the galleries during one of his trips). Maybe you can point me to the nearest one then?

The wallpaper is nicely done but the hair and sash are just perfect - that orange punch. You need to feel very good about this!

Sincerely,

Denise

This is worth the wait (posting delay)! I'd love to see it in person, I like being overwhelmed.

Jean

This must be spectacular to see in person. This piece really showcases your affinity for the color schemes and pattern of Eastern art.

This is so impressive. I too wish I could see it in person!

Sharon,
Speaking of exquisite, both this piece and "Dakini" posted in this topic are exactly that. What a treat it would be to see them in person.
By the way, do you look as much in real life like Hillary Clinton as you do in your thumbnail image?
