This has a wonderfully tender quality, very subtle and gentle. What a wide range you have, Kim.
I have to also say you are a lucky woman to have such a beautiful child. Such skin, and what a knockout of a lovely girl! You have so many great paintings ahead of you with her as a model. Thank you for giving us this delightful painting.

Kim, I know I'm repeating myself, but this portrait is powerful because it speaks so quietly. When I look at it I feel as though I'm meditating. It also speaks to me on many levels. It's a portrait of your daughter, but it also goes beyond that, becoming a symbol of girlhood and innocence on the verge of maturity. But then it says even more--something I can't put into words. I'm awed by it.

Beautifully, sensitively done Kim! Such a real quality to the light on her skin, --that ear. Wonderful.

Kim,
Like Alex said, it is attention-grabbing because it is so quiet, meditative. You show such restraint with color - it is exquisite, not just the turned-away pose, but your paint handling as well. Just superb.

Kim,
It is a beautiful pose and I especially love the way you handled the ear.
Very nice!
