Eve's Alternative




Excuse me if I reply incorrectly as I am a new member, but I had to respond to your painting. It is everything I like in a painting - great color, brushwork, drawing, composition and a compelling image. It feels like skin and bone surrounded by light.
Very nice.

Kim-- This is just beautiful. I really like the theme, and especially how you handled the light on her collar bone at the base of the neck, very convincing!

You're building quite a portfolio!

Wow - congratulations on a beautiful, very successful painting, Kim.

Did I miss it - did you tell us the area that was bothering you? Or did anyone get it right?

Terri, Cindy & Sharon - thank you!

Cindy - I dont want to say now! Actually I think I fixed it. It was the forearm holding the platter. It had light hitting it - so in life it wasnt as dark as I felt it should be since it was on the shadow side. Either I fixed it or just got over it because I didnt notice it the day I shipped it out!
