Sharon: Thank you--coming from you, the master of composition and color, that is truly a compliment. I've wanted to paint Colette's face since she was about two or three, so I finally decided now was the time before she lost that look.
Linda, thanks, but I can't top your magnificent head and I'm not going to try. As soon as I get a moment in the next day or two I'll try to get a good shot of the hands, I promise!
Julie, that's a lovely thought about the heart shape of the sofa back. Thank you for mentioning it, and for your thoughts on the composition, which I have to admit fascinated me and occupied my thoughts long before I started this painting. In fact I was so into the idea, I was afraid it wouldn't work!
