Thank you for your thoughts! The horizontal line of shadow in the foreground was bugging me, so I altered it a bit to create more interest and motion there. I like it now. On to the next painting!

Seriously? You did this in TWO HOURS? Very well done.

well... I painted the figure and the first version of the background in two hours, then I changed the movement of the foreground a bit the next day, so I guess I should clarify with 2 hours plus a night's sleep and a morning's musings. Thank you, Natalie!

I envy how fast you can work. This is a lovely painting and I am sure means so much to you. She is sweet!
