This is Allie. 30 x40 oil on linen which I haven't even taken off the easel yet. I just added a couple more pics. I'm still fussing with it a bit.

Mark,
Like the color of the first photo. Hope that is close to the real color. Nice flow! This reminds me of Pino's work who is not a bad artist to follow in the brushstrokes of a painterly style.

Mark,

What a thoughtfully composed portrait. I really like the way the colors interact. For instance, the darker, richer note of the wall and the wood on the chair against the pale, delicate colors of the dress and skin. Nice composition, too.

Hi Mark, I like the loose romantic flow of this painting and your beautiful, lush colors. I really like it when an artist seems to have had fun painting a portrait and I see lots of signs of that in this work - nice job!

This is a beautiful and fluidly painted picture. Gorgeous paint quality.

What I am most impressed with is your deft handling of the foreshortening, a real killer to do well.

Hi Mark,

Nicely done. I find it interesting how there is a repeat of the "S" curve throughout the composition. It makes the static pose of a seated figure, become much more engaging.

The color choices are also very rich. I love to hear what colors you used for the dress.

Mark,

You have really given a sense of movement to thei lovely piece. So very nice!

I really like the composition and the energy flowing around her face and shoulders. The painterly quality is so pretty and matches her femininity.

Nice graceful pose, wonderful fabrics and I liked how you used the pinks and greens in the skintones.

Hi Mark, another beautiful work.
I also like the colors in the first picture.
