Wow, Sharon! Gorgeous and dynamic! I would have never thought the wallpaper behind would be appealing, but it's wonderful.

Quite stunning Sharon, I love this. The colors are beautiful. Was this a commission or just for fun? By the way, I like the model's name too.

Alicia, I thought this was of you!

Seriously Sharon,

This really is quite a stunning composition, and I love the buttery warmth. Wow!

Just gorgeous, Sharon! I especially like the skirt.

Sharon, is this on Claessens 13DP linen, by any chance? I seem to recall that's what you often use.

Beautiful! How long did this huge size take you Sharon? And do you have rooms all in this wallpaper?

Sharon, I have what might sound like a crazy request. If you have time, could you photograph the BACK of the canvas and post that? I've never painted anything larger than 36"x48" and I'm wondering how you stretch and cross brace something this large. Did you stretch the canvas yourself? How on earth do you manage it? Are you up on a stepladder part of the time?

I haven't heard of the Claessens 15. Is that a new, finer weave than the 13?
