Dear Simon,
I really like this work. It reminds me a lot of David Hockney's work.
At first sight I thought that somehow the surfaces of the house are very bare, but the more I look at it the more I enjoy the simplicity of the tile pattern, and its taking discretely part to the economy of the painting.
I find the composition very interesting and the direction of the glazes adds to the liveliness of the work.
If I have to identify areas that to me need retouching that would be the arm of the lower girl, which reads right as for the shape, but maybe needs a better rendering of the folds; also perhaps you could find some straight lines in the knees of the other girl, to me they look too round and need a slight indication of the structure.
I see Allan has been faster than me, we were writing at the same time! Allan, go to bed it's past Midnight.
I'll go too, Simon many compliments
Ilaria
