Hi Mark, I like the loose romantic flow of this painting and your beautiful, lush colors. I really like it when an artist seems to have had fun painting a portrait and I see lots of signs of that in this work - nice job!

This is a beautiful and fluidly painted picture. Gorgeous paint quality.

What I am most impressed with is your deft handling of the foreshortening, a real killer to do well.

Hi Mark,

Nicely done. I find it interesting how there is a repeat of the "S" curve throughout the composition. It makes the static pose of a seated figure, become much more engaging.

The color choices are also very rich. I love to hear what colors you used for the dress.

Mark,

You have really given a sense of movement to thei lovely piece. So very nice!

I really like the composition and the energy flowing around her face and shoulders. The painterly quality is so pretty and matches her femininity.

Nice graceful pose, wonderful fabrics and I liked how you used the pinks and greens in the skintones.

Hi Mark, another beautiful work.
I also like the colors in the first picture.

I am so honored to receive these words from a painter as accomplished as yourself....especially after being blown away by your portrait of the judge recently. I am very encouraged now, and excited to leave tommorro morning to head to New York for the Art Expo! Thanks for the lift Michele!

Patricia, you are too kind. I am glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for taking the time to comment. She is a very pretty girl with a precious expression on her face and I was hoping to capture her beauty.

Thanks so much Chris. I learned alot from the great book that you wrote so maybe it rubbed off a little in my work. I hope so anyway.
