Holy Moly!!

That's about all I can get out just now. I'll need a few days (or weeks) to digest what I'm seeing.

I'd gladly be a fly on the wall of Herrick's circle.

David,

Thanks! Like I just expressed to Jane, your work is fabulous and very inspirational. I don't know where i would be without all the incredible talents here to bounce off of and be inspired by.

Garth,

You can never post too many close-ups of your work. I may look, trying to learn something, but always come away flabbergasted. It's simply too lovely to look at! I forget to study.

I'm often bored with the standard little girl in the white dress, but this is a whole new take on an old idea. It's exciting, fun, beautifully executed, and awe inspiring.

Dear Garth,

What a delight! There' s not much I can add to the already well- stated kudos at hand, a beautifully successful piece.

Too many close ups? Surely you jest.

[Janel Maples]

Garth this is absolutely beautiful!!

I know, how original of me.

I would also like to thank you for the close ups. They are yummy to look at. So helpful.

Hey, I just thought of this, do you know what would be a real treat? If you would start a thread and post a painting in progress. That would be the TREAT OF ALL JAMMIE TREATS for me. What do you say?

By the way a "jammie treat" is a very special event around here. It is the time of day that we all get into our jammies and have a treat before bed. Not always edible. It was my way of making bed time something to look forward to for my children. Works great, and it is a hoot when my husband asks "Honey, what is the jammie treat for tonight?"

Garth another beautiful work!

Congratulations!

[Michele Rushworth]

Man, how DO you do that !? I'd love to see some work-in-progress stuff too. Fabulous!

[Mike McCarty]

Very nice Garth.

I agree that these spontaneous "less than" posed portraits of children are very compelling.

[John Reidy]

Garth, thank you for sharing. What a beautiful painting and the close ups help to add to the strength.

Ever since I first saw your painting of the boy sunbathing I have been waiting patiently for more. I am not disappointed.

I have just brought to a close the face of a little boy with puppies that has similar lighting and down cast eyes. I must say that as much trouble as I have had I am glad to see yours worked out so well. I still have a lot of work to do but I thank you for the inspiration.

Again, a beautiful piece!

If there's room for one more wow here, I'll try to squeeze this one in.
WOWY WOW
The mother's shoes are a perfect addition to this piece.
Such a gift to be able to view your work here Garth. Seeing it live - now that would really be something special.
