Carlos, I keep coming back here to view this painting I like it so much. Maybe I keep hoping that the next time I look, she will have turned her head around!

Beautiful
Carlos,
Another exceptional lovely and sensitive painting.
The very light skin-tones are VERY difficult to paint as there is such a subtle range of color to deal with. You have succeeded beautifully. I have been working with that way at present and I am ready to join a nunnery and forget the whole thing.
The composition is elegant and atmospheric.
Ah! Models! One took off for a day at the beach without informing me.
As to the comment about reheating what has been served, that is a good one. I think we all so admire the paintings that were done in the past, we can be enslaved by them and their concepts. How do you something modern, yet employ the hard won skills of figurative painting? It is something I have been wrestling with and I am glad someone else is as well. It is something that cannot be forced, only considered each time we paint.

Beautiful !
I love your composition and your earth colors.
If you want to modernize this painting, give it your second title : " grocery list " . I like the idea of beeing elegant and gracious while thinking to very down to earth preoccupations.

Heidi,
If she DID turn around, would her expression be happy or sad? 
At least I don

Carlos,
I almost missed your new painting. It is very fine and true to Spanish tradition I believe.
I love the colors and the subtle execution. The composition reminds me of some Titian's, with the division down the middle to separate the composition in two spheres, one mental, for her dreams and one material with the beautifully painted still life.

Carlos--
A great painting! There is much to like, especially the feeling of depth and atmosphere--hard to achieve.
Love the pose too.

Dear Carlos,
What everyone said! Actually, at first I thought I had stepped back two and a half centuries to a golden age of painting! This trancends time, and is just exquisite!
