Thanks Mary for the comment: I hope You would be able to see it soon in one of the portrait competitions in the States.

Hello Linda! The idea of the pump as an allegory of a human heart is really exact, although I never thought about it!

Thank you Chris, for the encouragement!

Regardless of its quite "narrative" content, I still think that the picture has for me more of a compact formal (colors, emotions, shapes) effect.

Hello Sharon again!

I JUST LOVED the expression "saccharine attempt"...

Do not forget please that under the effect of FIRE
it caramelizes and becomes "academic"!

My current piece, just coming to completion will probably set your teeth on edge. It will be quite a confection and if you see it, the word saccharine may come to mind.

It is of a white corsetted dancer swathed in 60 yards of white tulle, with an orange wig and sash, surrounded by a cobalt and turquoise chinoiserie background.

Okay!

Good Luck with your wonderful painting!
