I had put this one aside for a while but finally just signed my name to it!
All comments are most welcome. Thank you!

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

It's just lovely, Christy!

[Christy Talbott]

Thank you so much Ilaria! I've been told it looks very old fashioned, but it'll suit the home it's going to be hung in-- antiques and painted floors, cottage style.

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

There's nothing wrong with looking old fashioned, and the work is very much in the tradition of painting of great Americans such as Rockwell or Loomis, so I don't think anyone can mean it as a negative comment.
Your client must be delighted
I.

[Christy Talbott]

Thank you. I think she is happy with it.

For a long time I'd fought against my natural tendency to want paint in an old style, but i think I'm finally giving up! Now I just want to paint well and in my own way. Still have a lot to learn and a long way to go, because what's in my head usually isn't quite what makes it to the canvas!

Hello Christy,
this is a very nice portrait of a sweet little girl.

Hi Christy, Nicely done!. I do like the old charm feel to your work, yes it too reminds me of a Loomis. Great artists to be likened to, don't you think! Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more.
